I do cognitively understand. I really do get what it is and why it helps. Question, I may have asked this before. The two main things I’m dealing with are dizziness and DPDR. I do lots of things on the weekend no matter how I’m feeling. On week days without my job(that I loved) or my car (that was sold since I no longer have said job) I’m trapped at home, partly because since I’m not working I was nominated to babysit my 4 year old grandson. I live him but watching him causes a lot of anxiety, which leads to stronger symptoms. When I feel extra dizzy and extra tired from lack of sleep I use ice packs to keep myself “awake” and from the feeling of passing out. ERP would look like just not using the ice, right? Also, cause I’m so scared of it, will it take me longer to learn the lesson and be able to let go? I’ve been working at it and I’m still stuck…
Oh now I get it 😂 like a light bulb went off lol i would take water with me or chew gum to distract me while driving and man it was helping for a short period of time till I stopped when u noticed I was over buying gum and sour candies lol so while I do my exposure’s I don’t take anything with me I haven’t chewed gum in months lol never cared for it in the beginning lol the only thing that I use as a safety trick is taking calming gummies which is a vitamin l-theanine before anything I have to do outside the house I need to stop that and experience it all in without that
