That would be a very difficult and impossible task…You got to focus your attention on other things to get your mind off those thoughts, like activities, hobbies, listen to positive music, going outdoors or what you like doing, etc…But the thing is, the thoughts always come back so you just got to continue trying your very best and that’s what counts the most…

Doing so would be a compulsion. You gotta accept that maybe they are real and sit with the anxiety that causes you

^And you need to stay with the thoughts for a while that cause you anxiety to overcome them eventually…

I think it’s more that you accept the thoughts as not a reflection of you, that they are just intrusive thoughts

Religious and harm OCD
Have you ever felt like you're trying to convince yourself rhat these thoughts are from OCD and not you because you don't believe that you're that crazy or bad? But at the same time you feel panic when you have these thoughts?
