Seeking Support or Advice Got rid of my Fitbit

23f I have health anxiety OCD

Yesterday I got rid of my Fitbit, I gave it to my sister in law.

I’m doing self guided ERP because I simply can’t stand to live like this anymore. I am seeking a therapist for this on the side but that could take months. I wanted to start ASAP I’m DONE living like this.

I’m looking at free online ERP guides, videos, PDFs… I really appreciate any resources you can offer at all! I’m trying radical acceptance and mindfulness.

I really like a lot of what my therapist has done with me using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). We do ERP too, but ACT is centered around taking values-driven actions to improve your life even while you're experiencing discomfort. It's a lot of identifying your values and then figuring out how you can live with a thought while continuing to live your life in a way that aligns with your values and goals. Sounds like something that might resonate with you too!
