Facing the fear

I have been struggling trying to resist compulsions, by facing the fear.

Usually, the fears seem so scary, that I cannot imagine them, as being real.

My past week I have given into lots of checking and obsession compulsions.

I know facing the fear treatment works for OCD.

Since in the past, whenever I have tried facing the fear, the thoughts go away faster.

I will just keep trying facing the fear, whenever I fail.

It involves having strong mental strength to really face the fear.

I am sure we as OCD patients are struggling with this on a daily basis.

Facing the fear is soo difficult. But I also experience what you described....when you face the fears the thoughts are fewer. I actually experience a lighter feeling!! You are not alone! Keep doing the ERP. We will continue the fight for our life!

Every time you do one less compulsion is a win. That is a very powerful thing to consider. It makes me feel really good when I think about it, and it is extremely empowering.
