I’m tired of OCD
Don’t y’all ever do everything that’s in your hands? Exercise, got to therapy, eat healthy, go for a walk, etc etc and your obsessions just don’t go away, they just scream louder 💔

You gotta find something that works too stop that. For me, when I really wanna quiet my mind, I grab one of my transformers and I will transform them over and over and just space out.
yes, it's also what I've been experiencing 😞
You’re not directly dealing with OCD that’s why. A lot of these are good for your overall mental health but don’t necessarily target your mental illness. They’ll provide some ease and maybe a distraction for a while but they aren’t helping you confront your fear or exposing you to it. ERP & ACT will. NOCD have links to workbooks you can do at home on their website… they go through ERP and themes but you should try to get some therapy with an OCD specialist who does ERP.
You have to directly work on getting better with OCD through ERP therapy and a HUGE part of that is not seeking reassurance, not ruminating, not checking, not doing compulsions, and not avoiding. You can drink green tea multiple times a day and meditate and work out every single day and go to Sarah but if you’re not doing what truly needs to be done then you’re not going to get better or you’ll only see small progress, honestly.
@Nica Go to therapy*
