Noting it here so I remember

[dreamyunicorn]

 My exposure thing for now is to navigate the computer without compulsions for at least one one hour block per day.

The non contamination phobias are a lot more minor and easy to overcome for me. So I'm not expecting it to be too hard. I've noticed positive results from doing it yesterday.

Day one I was too tired, so I did double on day two. There was some second guessing, but not much anxiety. Obsessions in this area have been getting weaker already and I've been feeling less need to avoid these things outside of exposure blocks. Using the computer is taking steps toward becoming more fun and less stressful

On day 3 I didn't get around to having a strict dedicated hour but I was much more inclined to expose myself to these things naturally than I have been. That shows that it is working. But being strict is important for the future.
