nervous
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.

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

Doing better. The extension on the harassment order wasn’t granted, but hopefully the individual will stop bothering me and let me live peacefully.

Treatment - erp
Treatment - ERP Hey so basically I'm just soooo scared to do ERP. I started doing erp with one service and I couldn't cope with our first exposure which was just sitting alone for 20 minutes and accepting intrusive thoughts with no compulsions'. I found this so distressing and hard. I've been moved services and probably will be doing ERP with them but I really don't want to do it. I know it's the gold standard treatment for OCD but it scares me so much knowing I have to do it. I'm scared it will make me way more sick and at this point in my life I cannot afford to be more sick (I'm starting year 13 next month and doing my A-level exams in may) I want to trust that this will work but I'm just very scared. I'm scared that this service will be just as bad as the other one. One of my big fears that we did my hierarchy for with service 1 was around science practicals as that was the only fear that therapist 1. I'm scared that therapist 2 will focus on the same scenario (which is a scenario that I struggle A LOT with) but I can't do that, I'm not sure what my hierarchy will be this time. I can't think of any harm exposures at all but I'm sure she will be able to.
