californiadreaming Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi all, thanks for your tough love the other day. Checked myself back into therapy and looking forward to learning more and sharpening my skills. We did an in-office ERP exercise that was damn hard, but we worked through it until my anxiety dropped.

dksea Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Congrats CD that's great to hear! I hope you can make some good progress. And remember, the therapy sessions are just the learning part, continuing to do the work each day is where it really pays off! Link to comment
dksea Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 BTW, are you actually from California, or do you just wish you lived there? My father grew up in Fairfield California, and we visited my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. near Sacramento almost every summer growing up. I even lived in L.A. for a year for University. The weather was a bit on the dry/hot side for me, but lots of great things about California! Especially the Yosemite area. Amazing! Link to comment

I too have started ERP again and yes... it is very scary indeed. In time I'm sure we will both look back at this period in our lives and wonder... What the Hell was I thinking? Life is too short for all this OCD nonsense Best of luck for the future Jumbo Yes. “What the hell was I thinking?” is always how I feel when I work through something. Link to comment
Closed for repairs Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm ERPing, at the moment, just call me Wyatt! Trouble is I've got to see this one through the weekend! In vearing between easy peasy, and doom and gloom, also it's tweaking all my other compusions. Plus I'm coming up with new ones! (I'm going for an "experiment "to see what happens is I don't check, following up some A/B, work and a pie chart of responsibility) Good luck everyone one doing Their homework! Link to comment
californiadreaming Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 I went the whole day (semi) compulsion free. I didn’t call any companies until 5 pm after work (I promised myself I would work today) and even when I called, I would just hang up because I didn’t want to get caught up (only called 2x).

How are you feeling about this now? I came to Central California as it’s too hot near LA. Link to comment
