You didn't fail. You hit a bump in the road, use it to your advantage by pushing threw and keeping up the good fight. Everytime I felt like I "failed" I had to realize it was just a learning experience to know how to better handle it for if and when i "failed" again. It gets easier. Don't give up!
Just get back onto it when you can
I used to think like this ! The progress isn’t linear…. Good for u for realising u done a compulsions but, a lot of people don’t realise.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this tough moment after making progress for a few days. The disappointment you're feeling is completely understandable, and it just shows how strong and aware you are for recognizing the cycle and fighting through it. Remember, setbacks are a natural part of the journey towards managing OCD. 🌱 I recently found something that has been quite a game-changer for me and might be for you as well. It's this AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" which you can check out here: unstuckmyocd.com/try. I heard about it from my OCD support group and genuinely wish I had known about it sooner. Given your current struggles, it'll be especially helpful for you because it provides personalized step-by-step support that mimics an OCD therapist, making it a valuable tool when those compulsions hit. If you have any questions about "unstuck" or if you just need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. 👋
Just took all of my therapy assessments that were due and feel disappointed with myself that my scores have gotten worse again. I had them all at a really good baseline for a couple months but seems like I’m having a flare up. I’m disappointed in myself that I couldn’t keep it at bay for longer than 2 months.
Today I got ran into after not doing my compulsion to have safe driving that morning. Now my obsessions are telling me that it’s my fault and that it is just going to keep happening. I have harm ocd regarding driving and thinking I am going to kill someone. Ugh it’s so annoying that I’m triggered again just wanted to rant
So i don't have access to an OCD psychologist and I really wanted to try ERP so I tried it on my own, but to be honest it made me feel sometimes worse. The only exercise I was doing was the look into a mirror and say "You might be gay, you might be bi, you might be straight it does not mather" I did it like 3 times per day. After some time I started having stronger compulsions and had a small amount of time where i was at my worse (even doing self harm) thinking I was just gay and should just acept it and that by saying it i was just acepting it. Do you think i did something wrong?
