Reminder - You're Going to Crush OCD

It may have had a chance before you knew what was happening. It doesn't stand a chance now that you're here. Expose yourself to your fears, sit with the anxiety, stare it in the face. You will get better and better and better at it. You will suffer setbacks. So what? Nothing good in life comes easy. Come back to the present moment, right *now* - think what can I do right *now* to improve things. Intrusive thoughts are noise. Dismiss them, tolerate them, laugh at them, mock them, write them down and rip them up. A time will come when you lay your head down at night and cannot remember a single intrusive thought *all day*. That day WILL come, and when it does it will be because of YOU and your hard work.

I’ve had my setbacks lately, anxiety. I’d like to be in the present, more often.

Winners

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?

Ocd

Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
