Hit and run ocd is truly the worst thing ever. I can sleep and I keep checking the local. Even though, I know I didn’t do anything. But my brain is trying to convince me otherwise. God this is a hard one

Recovery is possible! There’s a part of your brain the produces anxiety when a problem is detected. There’s also a part of your brain that calms you down when the problem is solved. The reason you feel the urge to check the local is because the part of your brain that calms you down is still agitated( because it thinks there still might be a problem even thought there isn’t) you have to train that part of the brain by not responding to the anxiety it produces( not checking the local) this of course isn’t easy, so start small by seeing how long you can go without checking the local or anything that reassures you. Learn to sit with the anxiety and discomfort. By doing this, you’re essentially telling your brain to relax because you’ve got everything under control. Although the anxiety and discomfort will increase for sometime as you ignore it but it will eventually subside as you refuse to give in to its demands. This happened for me🙂 it works 😁
