ocdsufferer85 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Back at the homework I failed at last time, its hard purposely thinking something you don't wanna think I'm trying to not respond, soon as I don't respond a WORSE thought comes to throw a spanner in the works Trying to not respond though Had a couple successful attempts today Just trying to get my head around it all and believe that in ocd it does take on the form of urges that feel real. I'm always afraid I'm different because my worry is "did I act on my fear?" "was it my fault?" it is a constant circle. Feeling guilty for anything that seemed to be ME, even though I dont have the desire to act out in my heart, my head makes me think I slipped up and gave in. When it says "you could just do it" it feels like a real urge, like I'm watching my moves, but I don't want to do it! Anyway I'm trying again Link to comment
Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Have your therapist said anything about how you are supposed to feel when you cut out compulsions? Link to comment

malina Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hey, I get you. CBT and ERP are really tough because they force us to do the things we don't want to do. It will feel bad at first but you just have to keep going until it feels less bad. I've got a few big challenges coming up in terms of therapy so my thoughts will be with you! Link to comment
