I try my best to ignore intrusive thoughts is that the best way, I sometimes tell myself I'm doing well and I should be proud of myself.

Can someone do more on existential, solipsism, hyperawareness of existence etc. I feel like it is so much less talked about amongst the ocd community. Iv had many ups and downs now for 7 months, set backs etc and I know every theme feels like it’s the worst in the moment but what makes this theme more difficult to me is that everything else could very well just be OCD, (health ocd you can go to doctors, get exams done) where as existential is like this could actually be possible. Someone else wrote “I’ll watch videos and feel better but then my brains like “what if I’m just making that up too” “ and this is something also makes saying “it’s just ocd” pretty useless. Ugh, advice please. Or a video 🙏🏻

Hey Courtney - Yes we can cover that again. It's important to remember that even if it was real and you were the only person on earth with this exact fear the principles of acceptance would still apply but yes we can do that.

Why is focusing on only erp negative?

[@aguywhohikes1271]

Hey BG - a few reasons 1) ERP isn’t anything new it’s strictly facing fears and wearing the discomfort (some make it out to be a new invention, which it’s not) 2) It’s not unconditional self, life and other acceptance. There are cross overs but one usually needs more acceptance for their worst case scenarios.
