Just keep on in your recovery and don't focus on where you are at. That can be an OCD theme as well. Check out Ali's videos or shorts on dreams.

I got addicted to watching masturbation videos, trying it on myself, and my ocd kicks in. Thank G-d, after a long time, I stopped watching the videos (after they got really horrible. I give myself masturbation massages in the shower, and I want to stop. But 1) is it dangerous to stop before o****m,- like right before- when I feel it ready to happem? and 2) my ocd says that I have to do it twice,

and then 2x a week.(very much ocd things, then shower again, then if one was end of one week, and one second week have to do it agian, then it is three,, etc...) Please give me advice to stop it now! my legs and chest hurt from it, and it makes me feel like I am doing something terrible, especially because this goes against my religious beliefs.

I would say I had a small set back today. There was less rumminition which is good. I am making progress but I thought I could with stand the thoughts this whole time but no. It made me feel nausea. I also started watching more videos on youtube for Erp. I don't know if I should continue with that method of Erp or do something else. What is your recommendation?

I'm tired of this thoughts. I want to go back to how I was at the beginning of the year before my ocd cameback. I was so happy. I will continue making progress. I just wish this was something that would've never happened. I am sure we all feel like this sorry just had to rant.

Hello Seamstress, nice to speak with you again. I really am ruminating again, unfortunately. I have two deliveries arriving soon and I'm tempted to wear surgical gloves. My confidence seems to have deserted me just lately. How are you getting on? Have you made anymore progress since last we spoke?

I seem to go up and down. Some days hardly any OCD thoughts and some days quite a few. Not sure why I can't just be done with OCD. Seem to hang unto it for some reason of course because of fear - the main reason I think that we all have OCD in one way or another. Hard not to beat myself up over it.

Would you guys recommend me to stop reading news article or news videos revolved around my ocd theme to help make the thoughts go away or would that count as avoidance?

Don't be to hard on yourself. It's easy to feel weary and frustrated after you've suffered for so long. How do you feel about coaching? Having somebody there to push you each day and hold you accountable could be enough to get you over the finishing line. If that's not an option maybe a support buddy could help?

I asked Ali the same question a little while ago and she suggested using the triggering articles as exposure and response therapy and after a while they will not bother you as much and then you can read the whole article for erp. I believe that is what she meant anyway.

Well done for reducing the time you spent ruminating, if you can stay motivated I'm sure you'll reduce it even further. Tracking can be a pain in the b**t when the thoughts are 24/7, but you're doing great. Keep going, amigo!

However one last question for the day can articles and videos that you read be brought up by your ocd like they just keep replaying on what you read and saw. Like I mentioned it was never this bad so I never really put too much attention to it but ones I started doing erp all of that is brought up.

My initial impression is that you may be spending to much time on the exposures(if watching vids and reading are the exposures)and not enough time doing the response prevention part. Once you start feeling that anxiety then it's time to go about your day,disregarding OCD thoughts(easy right).If you spend a lot of time reading and watching videos, then naturally these will be on your mind

Hi, I have a question regarding OCD. Can it make you give into an urge? Like lets say for example I have the sudden thought of "don't clench your fists as hard as you can" out of nowhere. And then that brings a sensation to my hands, and it almost compels me to do that action. Well, what happens if you were to actually go through with it? Is it still OCD or just me at that point?
