I suffered from this for about 2.5 years, I can't take it anymore, everyday 24/7 it is like this, I've been to a psychiatrist and psychologist (last time in may, and he said that I dont need him anymore) and they all say I don't have scizophrenia at all but my mind keeps f***ing with me. I've seen some videos from Ali Greymond and they helped me a bit, but now they don't help either. My OCD has peaked every little whisper, every little breath I hear I think is voices in my head and that I'm schizophrenic. How do you do exposure therapy for this? I just cant do any ERP. Does anyone else suffer from this and how did you get over it?
When begining ocd recovery, you cannot expect yourself to be perfect. Focus on reducing rumination rather than eliminating it all together. Try to delay rumination, like maybe tell yourself that you wont ruminate for the next 30 minutes then the next hour and maybe the next day etc. OCD will try to twist it and make you feel like if you're not perfect at recovery then you cant recover. It's all a lie. Noones recovery is perfect. The feelings, and sensations and thoughts are all a lie. OCD will try to make it feel as real as possible to get you into reaction. You must refuse reaction. Automatic fear and feelings and thoughts and sensations will arise but you must resist reaction.
