if i am not my thoughts, who/what am i?

Thoughts are just things that belong to you. Like objects. You are the holder and watcher of everything. Meditation and mindfulness claim you can choose what belongs to you. Metaphorically, those OCD thoughts are like people harassing you to sell their stuff. They keep pushing until you buy. But you, as the watcher, decide what happens. Look deeper into meditation if you want more, it's actually kinda hard to understand.

When u have a dream, do u worry about what just happened in the dream, no I don’t think so just like that ur thoughts are just a dream when ur awake they don’t matter

The watcher, the awareness behind them. The canal for the stream of thoughts.

Hi there! Thank you so much for having the vulnerability to share on here! OCD definitely tricks us into believing that we are what our thoughts are. This is far from the truth (although it seems very real). The reality of it is, we are typical people who have a disorder that sometimes rules our brains. Sometimes that disorder thinks that it is in charge of our brains, but we truly are the ones who are boss! Try your best to reframe your thinking to, "I am a typical person who has OCD and sometimes I will struggle with obsessions and compulsions." I have recently been working on acceptance statements. Although they seem foreign at first, they become more real over time. OCD is not our fault, try not to give it full reign of your brain. You are YOU, and you are wonderful!

Your actions

That’s a good question.. I’ve been asking my self that question also
