@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ Pressure does help sometimes for me too but when it’s natural and unavoidable. It often takes its toll afterwards though so idk if it really helps but maybe 🤷‍♀️ #OCDTalkHour

@harmlesslife @do4luv_ Your method sounds good, too. I often need a little pressure to get moving, but it works better if it comes from circumstances, then from a therapist or a schedule. #OCDTalkHour.

Quick random question before we wrap up for tonight: If you could teleport anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you do? #OCDTalkHour

@do4luv_ @Sam198247235291 Sorry you don’t have therapy - it can help a lot. A chilled evening sounds nice. I’ve been busy as had pokemon before this

the beautiful struggle 💫@do4luv_·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 Thank you, sucks you can relate too. Nothing in terms of therapy. This eve I am just chilling as was a busy day and I am full from a big bowl of ramen. Hbu?

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 Hi April et al., I am late joining and cannot stay #sadface. I am on the West coast this week visiting family, AND I also have a work meeting going on rn (Zoom). I will try to catch up to all the threads later on. #OCDTalkHour.

@RedIsND @Sam198247235291 Sorry today has been stressful 💕 I hope the medical stuff goes ok and the calming music is helping #OCDTalkHour

English

Red ♿️@RedIsND·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 #OCDTalkHour But I am listening to a calming music so that helps

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ This sounds like a good idea and I’d be interested in how you get on. I find self-guided exposures more helpful than ERP itself. I ask myself if I feel able to test out changing something without pressure but can see your way might be helpful! #OCDTalkHour

English

enoughofthis*#@enoughofthis4·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @do4luv_ setting up circumstances which force me to ease up some of the rituals might be the way to go. #OCDTalkHour.

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@do4luv_ @Sam198247235291 Sorry you’re struggling 💕 Can relate to hating wasting things due to OCD issues! Do you have support for your OCD irl? What are you up to this evening/today (idk what time it is where you are)?

English

the beautiful struggle 💫@do4luv_·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 My fear of undercooking meat/food being off is bad atm, causing me to throw quite a bit away, which I hate. Hand washing has intensified lately too. Hope others are okay x

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ I might be a bit weird in this sense as I feel like there’s a difference between my actual instincts and OCD ones. I can usually tell when it’s my actual instincts but possible OCD ones are often hazy! #OCDTalkHour

English

enoughofthis*#@enoughofthis4·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @do4luv_ This is a really interesting question. I feel like one of the hallmarks of OCD is I can’t trust my gut instincts—like they’ll send me into OCD overdrive if I let them. It would be great to hear if anyone else has had a different experience. #OCDTalkHour.

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

Has anyone had any success learning to trust their gut/instincts more? What helped? Did it have an impact on your OCD? Feel free to answer below or on @do4luv_’s original post #OCDTalkHour

the beautiful struggle 💫@do4luv_

@harmlesslife I wondered if anyone has had any success (big or small) with learning to trust their gut more and what it was that helped them do that

Has anyone tried DIY ERP for OCD? How did you find it? Any helpful resources or tips? Feel free to answer below or on @enoughofthis4’s original post #OCDTalkHour

enoughofthis*#@enoughofthis4

@harmlesslife Wondering what success anyone has had with do-it-yourself ERP. Also any particularly helpful guides websites or other resources for doing it yourself? #OCDTalkHour

@RedIsND @Sam198247235291 Yes - plenty of time as it’s going for another 30 mins or so 🥰 How’s your day been going so far? #OCDTalkHour

English

Red ♿️@RedIsND·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 Hello #OCDTalkHour Am I still on time? I didn't know the chat was still going

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@do4luv_ @enoughofthis4 I don’t talk about it much publicly as lots of people find ERP helpful. Hard to summarise but I think hierarchical ERP alone is ineffective long-term. It’s sort of compulsive in itself and quite cruel. Exposures are important but I don’t like ERP in its usual format #OCDTalkHour

English

the beautiful struggle 💫@do4luv_·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @enoughofthis4 Sorry if you have already spoken about this in previous talk hours but curious to find out more about why you’re not a fan of ERP (only if you want to share)

English

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@indradiamandis @Sam198247235291 Glad you’re ok. Do you want to talk about any of the things you have to do? #OCDTalkHour

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 Hello , I'm fine I guess , I just feel I have allot to do #OCDTalkHour

🐧 april Ⓥ 🌱@harmlesslife·27 Ağu

@enoughofthis4 @Sam198247235291 Sounds like a good plan. Are you doing anything in particular for the rest of the day to help distract? #OCDTalkHour

English

enoughofthis*#@enoughofthis4·27 Ağu

@harmlesslife @Sam198247235291 Sorry you’re not feeling well. A lot of my problem is lack of sleep, plus some weird physical symptoms which I’ll see a doctor about next week. I’ve maxed out the meds I can take without getting nasty side effects, so distraction is the name of the game. #OCDTalkHour
