This subtype has been taking over my life since january. It's so tiring. Does anyone have any tips for how to get over it. I've tried not doing the compulsions but then something happens to make me believe they are keeping me healthy.
It’s hard. I found that sort of just accepting the reality that you could be sick/hurt and that life is full of twists and turns was most helpful. Much easier said than done, though.
@Road2Recovery I've tried to do this. I feel like i've tried everything. I just don't know how i'm meant to live or cope with it. Thank you for replying, and yes everything is easier said than done when it comes to OCD.
Yeah, I’d also say time helps. But I went through a phase where I was having almost daily panic attacks, and was doing compulsions like checking my pulse, breath, etc. it’s really hard.
@Road2Recovery I really hope so. I'm sorry you went through that phase, it's so tiring.
