I don’t want to live like this anymore

You're not alone man I don't think anyone with OCD enjoys living with it no matter what the theme is.
@NeverGiveUp I feel like I can’t stop checking and doing compulsions
@Anonymous You need to realize that checking is just going to fuel OCD more that's what I'm starting to realize again. OCD isn't logical meaning even if you sit hours checking it's going to do nothing even if you find some sort of reassurance it'll only last a short amount of time before you'll feel uncertainty again and repeat it all over.
@NeverGiveUp I know but no matter how much I tell myself that I end up getting stuck in the same compulsion and ritual. And I don’t know how to stop it
@Anonymous Have you tried to use distraction? Don't distract from things that trigger you but I mean everytime you go to do a complusion/ give yourself reassurance you can do something you enjoy instead like watch a movie or play a game.. anything you enjoy doing that clears your mind really.
@NeverGiveUp That works sometimes but only for a short period of time. Then when I’m alone again or not doing anything it comes back and it’s all I can think about
@Anonymous Do you have access to therapy? If you do you should really seek help I'm planning on doing the same soon I've been dealing with so many themes the last 3 years and it's been hell. You should seek help sooner than later trust me bro. Especially if you can't stop thinking about it and it's causing you non stop distress.
