does anybody else ever try to “visualize” their OCD? i like to think of mine as some literal, terrifying monster that’s out to get me. for me, picturing it that way makes it easier to do my best to resist compulsions because then i’m not actively “feeding” the monster. it also makes it a little bit harder for me to believe the horrible things it says about me when i imagine it coming from some scary-looking monster. idk, maybe that’s just me!! would love to hear if y’all do anything similar lol 🌟🍃

I do! I think of mine as smaller than me and annoying. Kind of like the size and shape of the little anger guy in 'Inside Out' .. that waddles up on the scene uninvited. When I'm calm, it makes me laugh to visualize that little jerk waddling up beside me to say crap I don't want to hear.

I drew mine. As a monster kind of like Connie from Big mouth but not nice. I named her Irene and she's an asshole

I think mine is like a Yorkie yapping all the time and trying to get me to be afraid and pay attention
