Ocd lies
How to not believe when ocd lies to you? How do you get past that?
How to not believe when ocd lies to you? How do you get past that?
I tell myself maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. The problem is, we can never know anything 100% for sure. We have to be willing to accept that there is some small chance that something is true, because anything could be true for anyone. However, we have to decide it’s not worth spending all of our time and energy and beating up ourselves trying to figure it out. Plus, you’re human. You can’t be perfect.
I feel u. You are not alone
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
Can someone please tell me at what point did you finally accept that it’s OCD? When did the ERP click for you? When did you just stop buying into the lies of OCD and finally let go? Like what does it take. It’s been 2 years of this for me and I’m in ERP currently and it’s just not clicking 😣 is it just me???
I’ve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesn’t mean it’s true or that it defines me. I’ve started learning how to see OCD for what it is—just a disorder trying to trick me—and I’ve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?
