I don’t know what to do
I keep giving in to OCD I wish I could resist it but if I don’t do what it says then I feel weird because I’ve been doing it for so long!

You have to resist the urge, even if it makes you very anxious. I can't do it either, not yet, but it's what we have to do. Not reacting ti the thought helps a lot, I've been able to do it a couple times and it is effective, at least to keep going with your day!

let the thought come and sit in the physical sensation, it’s something that is integral to your healing process! something that really helped me comprehend how to and what that means, along with accepting resistance is actually going back to my childhood and seeing how it affected me back then! i realized i had sooo so much ocd subtypes and magical thinking happening because i was so alone! now that im in a different place i think of this healing as a bridge between then and who im supposed to be! our sickness is so hard so be patient, its still uncomfortable for me as well!

you’re not alone. you have to push yourself and resist the compulsion because it is truly the only way to get better. as you push yourself more and more, that anxiety will begin to dissipate :)

Maybe I’m creating a new compulsion, please help.
If my OCD is trying to convince me I’m gay due to past compulsions. Every time I have that through I now repeat in my head that I’m straight several times to battle it. If I continue to do that am I just creating a compulsion??

Cant stop asking yes or no before making decisions
I think im asking my intuition/spirit guides, and I mean ANY decision... Should i go eat, should i eat this or that, should i drink this, should i go do this or that, even in video games. It's everything from tiny choices to important ones. I think its some form of me making sure I do the thing in my best interest or whichever will have the best outcome for me, and i don't want anything with a bad outcome. Im not exactly sure when I started doing this but I've had it bad for at least 2+ years now. I feel like it's driving me insane because I KNOW i want to stop, even my spirit guides remind me i have to make my own choices because that's how life works, we aren't born knowing what's going to happen for a reason. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself. The worst part is, it's never decisive. I can't tell the difference between my OCD thought and my intuition, so I actually drive myself INSANE not being able to make rhe right choice, even with the small things like whar to eat. It makes me want to tear my hair out, it's so stressful for me. This is daily too, I don't know what to do to get rid of it anymore. I even tell myself sometimes when i ask to just do what I WANT to do, but my OCD fights me... Please help
