How should I react
I don't want to accept my thoughts could come true since that's what's causing all this fear but I do want this theme to go away. How do I stop this all.

I’m in the exact same boat right now. I would give anything in the world for this to stop. I just want my life back. I’m married to the woman of my dreams and have a 1 year old son and I was the happiest guy on the planet until my OCD started. Now it’s making me feel like none of this is real, and that I have been lying to myself and it’s the most heartbreaking feeling in the world. I would do anything to make it stop.

Same here man I'd do anything at this point to feel like myself again before all of this.

How should I react to my intrusive thoughts/images
A lot of times I feel like I truly don’t have OCD but then I’m very humbled when I get gruesome images and thoughts of killing my family. I just have a hard time not letting the thoughts stick and try to find the meaning of it. I just feel so stuck with my intrusive thoughts/images. They bring on so many sensations that feel real. I’m just not sure how I should be reacting to them.

Confused about "accepting" thoughts for ERP
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

ERP
I’m thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. I’m not sure what I should do🥲
