Think of it as an ERP exercise! You did it, it was scary, but you got through it.

Omg same. Saw a Tik Tok live about ignoring intuition and if I didn’t go thru with something then I’d be ignoring what’s good for me and they even mentioned “you may need to let a relationship go” and it SENT me 😭 it made me feel a weird sense of good and bad. Can’t even begin to understand

Regardless of the matter, I control my life. Even if some things don’t always “feel” right. Tarot’s are only suggestions just like astrologers can only truly suggest. Not tell you that this one way is the ONLY way. It’s harmful for people with ocd to hear that our guts are our second brain unfortunately. It makes us spiral more. We can use spirituality but cannot rely 10000%. Only mere suggestions as to what can possibly and what possibly should change. Even to a small degree. For everyone worried about Tarot cards predicting their futures for them, check out Awaken Into Love and watch/read Kiyomi’s stories and suggestions about how to handle those moments. We are always in control of our own stories. Even when the path is blurry and confusing. We can still choose.

Very well said. Tarot is only guidance, suggestions, a new way of seeing things. Whatever path you choose, that is your choice and your choice only. Tarot can just offer more insight.

I read tarot cards for a living. They are crazy accurate most of the time. Tarot cards are there to guide us in times of uncertainty. Our subconscious knows what we need to hear and when. You get a tarot card reading, the messages from the cards will usually always relate to you in some way. Tarot cards are not meant to be scary or bad or evil. They got a bad wrap because Christians put it out there a long long LONG time ago that anything supernatural is the way of the devil. The is the farthest from the truth. Tarot cards can bring you peace, insight into your issues, guidance to point you in the right direction , and much much more. Don’t be frightened of them. You will always receive your most needed message at that moment. If you would like for me to pull a few cards for you, (for free this time), I would be happy to. I would need your full name at birth and you whole birthday. No need to be scared though. It’s all good.

Oh yes, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, NEVER ignore your intuition. If you do, you won’t like the outcome. That “gut feeling” we all get, that is our intuition warning us of danger or giving us reassurance. Your gut is your bodies second brain. It’s very interesting. Everyone should look it up in order to understand your gut instant or intuition. Hang in there all!

With all due respect, I know you mean well but this is harmful advice for many with ocd. Ocd is an anxiety disorder that tricks us into feeling fear, doubt, insecurity. To many of us, this feels like a "gut feeling" but it's just ocd. If we believe every anxiety is a warning, we will spiral out of control. It's so important NOT to fall for the ocd fears, but rather to acknowledge they are just anxious thoughts and feelings, not threats.

@Shaylene67 Well, since I struggle with OCD myself, hence why I’m here, I completely understand. Not in any way was I attempting to trigger anyone or have anyone spiral out of control. That is the last thing I would want because that is a scary feeling. I also get panic attacks, so I do know what that feels like and in no way would I ever wish that upon anyone. You are absolutely right. Possibly I could have worded things differently. My apologies to anyone who read this and felt triggered by it or in some way disrespected. That was not my intention whatsoever. I know all too well about fear, doubt, and insecurities. I am 48 years old and have had many many times of fear, doubt, and insecurities. Hang in there!

support please

**TW for POCD** I’ve spoken about this a few times before. That urge I had to type in “child porn” into google. I talked to my NOCD therapist today about it. She told me the ERP for it was to type it in. She even did it with me. Obviously nothing but news stories, crime statistics, and photos someone would use for a project showed up. I’ve been so petrified of typing that in there. She wants me to do it every two hours and listen to what OCD will say. I typed it in that way, I typed it out full, and I typed it out with an additional word. I clicked and browsed through all the google tabs. I’m okay, but I can’t stop crying. I’m scared to do it again. She said it’s not likely going to get flagged due to people looking that up for research projects and stuff. I’m just afraid repeatedly searching it up will cause some sort of alert. I feel so scared and full of nerves. I guess that’s what the ERP is supposed to do, but it was so scary. So scary :(

Panic

I was scrolling on here and now I’m having a panic attack. Someone posted resources and one of them was a NOCD article and I thought that was so great. I clicked on it because I like learning about this disorder and I love NOCD’s resources. But I read that one of the compulsions for pocd is watching cp? I thought that wasn’t a thing with POCD. I literally cannot breathe because I feel like this thing is now possible and I cant calm down. That was the first time I’ve ever seen that stated as a compulsion. I feel like I’m dying. What triggered my spiral in the first place was months ago someone contacted me and told me they watched it but claimed OCD and I felt absolutely horrified. I deleted my account and removed that person entirely. I am freaking out so bad I really can’t seem to breathe right now
