Just this one time!

My ocd is telling me “Just this one time”. “Go ahead & do it, just this one time. It will only be just this one time.” But I know it won’t be & if I give in then it will be even easier to give in the next time & the next time & the next time. Because I know full well there will be a next time. There always is. So I’m going to keep acknowledging that I really want to & then go back to what I am doing. No matter how many times it takes today. That makes for a long & distressing work day but I can do this.

I have never tried this hard with my ocd before. It is very hard. My ocd does not want to quiet down about this. It really wants its way. But I’m still hanging in here. Trying. Giving it my all. Because I know what happens when I give in. And I want different, so I have to do different.

@Trish1014 I understand to an extent from my own experience as to what you mean 🙁 It’s really hard and exhausting trying not to let OCD have it’s way. As soon as that happens, everything comes to a horrible standstill and it’s simply futile. But like you mentioned, the best you can do is to give it your all. Your efforts are not in vain! It’s always a step to recovery. I’m happy that you are powering through it. You can do it!
