Ad | I used to think that the only escape from OCD's torment was to avoid anything that could possibly trigger it. So, slowly but surely, I began to pull back from doing the things I loved. It seemed like an easy trade at first. If I just skip this one party, then I won't have to spend the entire next day replaying every memory from it...If I never meet anyone new, then there will be no interactions to second-guess whether or not I caused harm...If I never make memories, there will be no memories to check, replay, and wonder if they're even real... Slippery slope. I continued bargaining away pieces of my life, a little at a time, in the hope that it would bring me peace. But the peace OCD promised never came. All it ever did was shrink my life and allow OCD's hold over me to grow. True recovery from OCD's vicious cycle didn't come until I found specialized OCD treatment, called ERP (exposure response prevention) therapy with NOCD.com. It's been three years since I worked with NOCD, and I can tell you that it is absolutely worth it. #nocd #ocd #ocdtherapy #erptherapy #ad
#ad Ad | OCD is an attention stealer. It knows exactly what to say to make you listen. Mine knows it can always get me with questions around my morality and whether or not I really am "a good person." And then it promises me that it can provide certainty that I am...so long as I perform just one more compulsion. But the certainty never came. It was a goal post that kept moving. And the compulsions it demanded of me, many of which seemed harmless at first -- rereading old messages, replaying memories, asking my friends for reassurance -- started to claim minutes and then hours of my days. Simple moments of human connection would set off entire evenings spent in a downward spiral of doubting and checking and rechecking again. Even tapping "post" on this video has my OCD screaming at me, "Are you sure you wanna post that? What if you really are a monster? What if the fact that you could even conceive of this video is proof that you are?" And that's the thing: @NOCD and ERP therapy (Exposure Response Prevention) didn't silence my OCD forever. But it did give me the tools not to give it the attention it demands and to live my life on my terms. #ad #nocd #ocd #ocdtherapy #erptherapy
