Just try to sit with thoughts and the uncertainty and anxiety they bring. Try not to ask anyone for reassurance, that will just make it worse. I had to get to where I didn't talk to people about my OCD because not understanding they would start reassuring me. I had to tell my family not to reassure me. It can be very lonely but people just don't understand, so there first response is to give advice and reassurance. It doesn't happen over night but you can do it.
I will give my 💯 Its not easy but i have to do it
This is so true, practice makes (almost) perfect, remember you wanna aim for messy because OCD wants you be to exact… you’re not listening to OCD anymore. Picture your future self… does your future (ideal - value moral self) do this? If no, neither do you anymore. When/if you talk about OCD you talk about it in the past “I used to obsess about ****, but not any more” Keep with this, I’m not saying this works for everyone but did for me!
How can i reassure myself (comfort) if i am angry and upset about having compulsed when i am not supposed to either compulse or reassure myself?
Any tips on whenever you’re getting that intrusive thought, what can I tell myself without reassuring myself
