How to differentiate between actual real worries/fears and intrusive thoughts? And can real worries/fears/intrusive thoughts be true despite being obsessive? How do you then accept something as uncertain that seems/feels true?
Are you working with a therapist?
Can't afford one
I've been told a lot that in order to get better, we need to tolerate uncertainty, which yea I get that and I'm trying every day more and more to reach that point!! But I've also been told that we need to tolerate uncertainty AND "our worst fears becoming true". Like how does that work, especially with POCD, OCD about a///ault, SA and all of that? Like that is really difficult for me and I don't really understand how I'm supposed to just shrug stuff like that off
With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
