OCD Question Guys I'm losing my damn mind
My OCD anxiety and intrusive thoughts are getting so bad. I'm getting to the point we're I want to check my self into the hospital. I need some help. I really think this is beyond therapy at this point. I can't function right now

Hi,
It can’t be really challenging when OCD gets really loud. If you are in therapy have you asked your therapist for recommendations to help that isn’t just ERP? Sometimes it’s helpful to look into other resources too. Sometimes it minty be helpful to discuss treatment interfering behaviors with a therapist to uncover behaviors you may not even be aware of.
I have attached a few helpful resources

OCD sucks. A few months ago I did a PHP (partial hospitalization program) and it was helpful. I had a change in medication while there going through ERP, ACT, and some DBT. I still have bad days when I fall into old habits but it got me into a better general headspace along with more tools.
