I have been working on acceptance after a really tough day and here are a couple of things I learned that really peaked my interest. 1. Acceptance is not agreeing or believing. 2. The thought you have is real in only that it is a thought like any other. 3. Uncertainty is not 50/50 or the flip of a coin. Uncertainty is 1 out any number. Uncertainty could be 1 out a trillion. For me I have to keep on this idea. "I accept that I have OCD and 'x' thought. The thought is real and while I can't be certain it won't happen the odds of it actually happening are quite small."

Yeah my therapist told me the same thing, because technically ANYTHING can happen lol I might for all you know you might wake up to be superman tomorrow. Lol you literally NEVER know, but yeah its extremely unlikely. And yeah he told me the same thing that accepting doesn't mean you are accepting you are what you fear, but you are accepting that you have the thoughts.
