Hey everyone ..... I feel that OCD makes you doubtful and scared of so many things Maybe we can share some tips on this thread to help each other be less afraid.?
Love this!!! My tip is to try and remember who you’re being brave for. If you can’t be brave for yourself maybe you can be brave for someone else.
This is excellent Phillip91... Fantastic
I too push forward for others but I have to remember to fill my cup when I get drained. I'll begin with helping others like a soup kitchen or other things. I try to join nature and listen more for joy.
Hey! I can so relate. What has really helped me is thinking about the "why" behind doing exposures/treatment. For example, rather than thinking of a not checking exposure as something you are doing because you have to or even just because it's OCD, I think of what it will help me with long-term. Using that example, maybe not going back to check the door multiple times would save time that could be spend hanging out with friends. I tend to be more motivated to do hard things when I have that reason in addition to just wanting to get better. Hope that helps!
This is it but generally why is too vague, it's better to start with who is feeling this way, what triggered it, when did this occur, where can I go to gather my thoughts/ sit with it/ or talk to someone, and why. Focus on being the advocate for yourself and also being a friend to yourself. Would you turn away a friend or not understand a run away thought from a friend? Understand your a person who has not had a single day of rest from ideations. Your naturally exhausted.
