I need help....
My OCD is litterally one thing that stopping me from having a peaceful life
My life is good except for OCD.
I've been recovered from my muscle twitching that caused by stress. But my OCD keeps telling me that if i do specific things, like eating fish wrong, i'tll make my twitch comes back. If i try to fight it, aka ERP, it'll really makes my muscle twitching comes back because of the immense stress. But if i dont fight, suddenly i cant do anything. Because if i do something an ordinary people would do, my ocd will tell me that i'tll make my muscle twitching comes back. What do i do...
I cant fight the OCD
And i cant do a compulsion
What do i do?
Im so cooked.....

Putting a definition of ERP for people who might not be familiar here: ERP stands for Exposure and Response Prevention, which is a type of therapy specifically designed to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually facing anxiety triggers while resisting compulsive behaviors, helping individuals break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
I wonder what would happen if you allow yourself just to wait it out.
Sorry to hear that, I'm also struggling with OCD. I'm always worried that my food is contaminated, that the person cooking it might not have washed their hands. And it's unfortunate because I live with someone who has the habit of not washing their hands.
I've been convincing myself that it's okay and to just fight through the digust.
I hope you find a home here among people who understand your situation.
