This is actually similar to what I have started to do while in the moment practicing ERP! After telling myself this is likely an ocd thought, I can handle this anxiety, I’ve started to say “I can have compassion for myself, this is really hard.” It’s fascinating how doing that has helped me a lot in the moment. I think those of us with OCD are so hard on ourselves, we have this huge weight of expectation or pressure on ourselves, that we wouldn’t expect of any other human.

@SeptemberSky One of my triggers is self identity or body image so I’m literally gagging when I practice this or look at myself in the mirror for 10 minutes for my ERP but I can do this I have to to be honest lol

@SeptemberSky Yes it’s probably one of my highest triggers. I cry when I do my maybe maybe nots it’s really hard because one is “I maybe disgusting I may not be disgusting, but I deserve to love myself.” I cry every time and look away from the mirror and I have to do it for 10 minutes.

@Big bucket of crazy Bless your soul. My heart goes out to you because I feel that pain and tremendous discomfort but how unbelievably BRAVE and COURAGEOUS of you to take this on and look the pain right in the face! That is so inspiring. I've no started any work around my body image issues yet. I think I'm avoiding or at least resisting it right now but I am inspired by your efforts. ♥️💯

@theycallmeemmy It’s so difficult but I can at least glance at myself after one exposure test and that’s a win!

@Big bucket of crazy Oh that’s so hard 😔 I’m so sorry you go through that. Doing ERP and resisting compulsions is so difficult. And sometimes I wonder if I’m even doing it correctly. I cry often when I’m trying to sit in the anxiety too… it’s awful to feel like something might be true and accept uncertainty 💛 you’re not alone

@SeptemberSky It’s hard but I need to fight through it. Can’t hate the person I am forever and that’s a hard truth in its own.

I don't see a way to create a private message other than with therapists and member advocates. Do you?
