Should I keep going with Exposure Therapy or STOP?!
Question: Should I keep going with Exposure Therapy or STOP!?
I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!.!.!.!.i was a member of an online OCD support group but they have stopped replying to my posts!. i feel like i have done something horribly wrong etiquette-wise to cause everyone to shun me!.
In a nutshell, I am undergoing self-treatment because there are no OCD therapists in my area!.!.!. i am doing Exposure and Response Prevention on my own, using a workbook to try to face and overcome my fears!.
but i feel like the support group of OCD sufferers has rejected me, therefore i don't feel like doing the exposure homework anymore!. Can anyone give me some encouraging words to continue!? Telling myself to continue with the workbook exercises is not enough!.!.i need someone else's encouragement!. help!

Can you simply ask them in a simple and straightforward (and brief) way!?
Meantime, try to do your "homework" anyway!. I don't know this method, but if you are convinced it's good for you and it seems to be helping, then try to continue!.
I'm wondering if you could get connected with a therapist outside your area even for a call-in relationship!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
