There’s a saying about anxiety. “If you don’t want it you got it”, which is basically saying when you resist what is and fight it, you actually reinforce it and give it more power.

Your stress gets worse the more attention you give your thoughts. They are not real, just thoughts. Thoughts are neither good or bad until we label them as such. OCD thrives on attention. The more attention you give it the stronger it gets. That’s why when you resist or fight them you may notice them getting stronger or louder in your mind.

ERP is the best way of regaining your power but there are other methods to help you stay out of your head and into your life. But never give thoughts more power than they need. Thoughts are never “real” in a sense, they are nothing more than thoughts or ideas or worries, etc. Let them come in your mind but don’t hold on to them. Instead watch them come in and pass right out. Easier said than done I know, but very possible

Do you ever feel like we end up feeling what we don't want to feel or what we are scared of feeling?

Your welcome. I can relate well to what you say because I’ve been there, struggling against the OCD beast. I wish you good fortune and luck. and if I can help in anyway just reach out to me

Stop trying to figure it out. now, I know when you read that you’re probably gonna think why or how can I do that. I wanna know. True. We all want to know and that desire is part of what OCD feeds off. Because you can search for ever, ask the most intelligent people in the world, even the smartest computers but you will never find it because It the truth is, it does not exist. There is no answer to the question. no logic to the crazy. OCD. Is by nature an illogical disorder therefore trying to overcome it with logic or reasoning will never work. It is a fear based disorder that uses your fear against you
