Have to go to court tomorrow and face my harasser. I am terrified and it’s making my OCD go out of whack and is scaring me.

Doing better. The extension on the harassment order wasn’t granted, but hopefully the individual will stop bothering me and let me live peacefully.
@Anonymous you did a brave thing. give yourself credit and a high five from me. ❤️
That sounds really really hard. Glad you’re able to see your OCD for what it is. Be gentle with yourself as you ride the waves. You’re not alone — sending you encouraging thoughts ❤️
yes, it is good you recognize what it is. just keep telling it that you are going to be focusing on something else right now.
I would add be gentle with yourself, that seems like a scary thing to face and you have every right to feel that way. Give yourself grace. But know that you are enough and worthy, don't let your OCD tell you things that aren't true about you.
What a brave thing to do, alongside your fears. That is a lot of strength. Be kind to yourself, no matter what your OCD throws at you, you are strong and capable. Today will pass soon enough. Please let us know how you’re doing if you like
**TW for POCD** I’ve spoken about this a few times before. That urge I had to type in “child porn” into google. I talked to my NOCD therapist today about it. She told me the ERP for it was to type it in. She even did it with me. Obviously nothing but news stories, crime statistics, and photos someone would use for a project showed up. I’ve been so petrified of typing that in there. She wants me to do it every two hours and listen to what OCD will say. I typed it in that way, I typed it out full, and I typed it out with an additional word. I clicked and browsed through all the google tabs. I’m okay, but I can’t stop crying. I’m scared to do it again. She said it’s not likely going to get flagged due to people looking that up for research projects and stuff. I’m just afraid repeatedly searching it up will cause some sort of alert. I feel so scared and full of nerves. I guess that’s what the ERP is supposed to do, but it was so scary. So scary :(
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
