This is today's exposure.
Three and a half minutes spent with a very nice preteen girl that only looked like she enjoyed half the ride.
Peak anxiety of 4.
Tilt a whirl with questionable partner - check. Bring on the expired milk.

Even crazier
Today my OCD exposures included the following:
- watching a video of a woman vomiting on a roller coaster
- sitting in front of the toilet imagining myself vomiting
- imagining Ryan vomiting
We do each of these things 5 times, a minimum of 2 minutes and a max of 20, recording our highest anxiety level and how long it takes us to cut it in half.
I'm no going to lie, actually doing these things is making me feel a little more crazy instead of less. :) I can feel that my anxiety is lessening more and much quicker.
But the overall moral of today's treatment - never search vomiting on YouTube. Ew.
Off to get today's 5 exposures!

Ready, set, go.
Today is my first day of treatment. 2 hours and 17 minutes in I am beginning to relax from my original state of complete fear.
