OCD treatment is just learning how to do it scared and ADHD treatment is just learning how to do it bored

Freakin OCD man. You work on it in one area and it starts leaking out another.

Been working on the religious OCD and seeing so much improvement.

And then checking OCD starts showing up when that’s basically NEVER been a thing for me. And then obsessing about getting fired.

I then find more and more success with the religious OCD through ERP therapy, etc. and experience some real healing.

Surprise! Now you feel intense discomfort if you highlight too many cells in your spreadsheet at work. Cant highlight 7, that feels wrong. Try 5. Better.

😒

This has literally never been a thing I’ve experienced and I’m just like. Are you serious

small important psa because some of you are so dangerously unaware of the fact that exposure therapy requires consent. i need you to know and understand this. it is NEVER okay to trigger someones ocd on purpose just because you think it's "helping them" when in reality you're just being a major jerk because erp takes baby steps and all you're doing is causing the person suffering a significant amount of distress. if you are not trained in erp therapy then you should not be triggering those with ocd ESPECIALLY without their consent

i don’t think people understand how unhinged ocd therapy can be

“oh, you keep getting really distressing intrusive thoughts and are afraid you’re suddenly going to snap and kill your baby for no reason? well, i want you to do this creative writing exercise where you write out exactly how that would happen and what the fallout would be. great job! now take that and read it out loud to yourself five times a day for the next three months”

no i actually don't want to do exposure and response prevention therapy that sounds fucking awful. "triggering you and making you feel disressed until you're desensitised to it but hey it's good for you it's the only way" no fucking thanks. i'll do Response Prevention on my own. get an intrusive thought and resist acting on the compulsion that might make me feel better in the moment but makes my ocd worse, without purposefully triggering myself or having someone trigger me. because fuck that. that's like purposefully walking on hot coals. yeah you might get tough feet, but what else?
