Delay - Practice Not Responding to OCD Urges
Living with OCD can be exhausting. The constant urges, the rituals, the "what ifs" that won't stop.
Delay is a self-help app that helps you practice techniques inspired by Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP). Instead of fighting your thoughts, you'll learn to sit with discomfort and let urges pass naturally - at your own pace.
HOW IT WORKS
When an OCD urge strikes, open Delay and start the timer. Choose how long you want to practice - even 2 minutes counts. The app supports you through the discomfort with calming messages, grounding exercises, and gentle encouragement.
