This isn't directly an ERP exercise but I could use some encouragement. I have limerance that is part of my OCD and an upcoming event is triggering the limerance, which is triggering a lot of obsessions. Don't want to hurt my arm patting myself on the back, but I feel like I have gotten ninja level good at not getting sucked into my obsessions.
But my god do I sometimes wish I could rip my brain out and scream at it to shut up. Sometimes it feels like that would be a nicer sound than the constant, endless nagging of the obsessive thoughts. And what really sucks is they did get quieter on meds but I had to go off of them because the side effects were so debilitating. I've tried so many meds and that was the only one that worked like it was supposed to with my brain.
But anyway, going to the thing and seeing the limerant object is part of my ERP and I want and need to do it. But good lord the Obsession spike in this period of anticipation is so freaking tiresome.
