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.
My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.
I know the truth deep down but I am just doing compulsions to try and convince myself that I have OCD. I try to look up and find things exactly the same and me in experiences how I feel and everything else and it becomes worse when I can’t find the same person as me. I know people do compulsions to make sure they love there partner but I feel like I do compulsions to CONVINCE ME it is ocd
Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.
