My OCD intrusive thoughts subject started to change to a different theme since I stopped feeding it for 1 month. Now that I know how OCD works, I'm not feeding this new theme, and it's going away!!! I feel so much stronger!!!!💪❤❤❤ Consistent practice and self-acceptance are the answer! 😁
Congratulations!
Hell yes!!!
Can you tell me what you do consistently to stop the thoughts?
I follow "OCD Recovery" on YouTube, and "Mark DeJesus!" It took 3 years to finally get the hang of it consistently.
@cheerio32 Awesome thank you so much!!!!

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?
Sometimes I notice my intrusive thoughts cause me to spiral and sometimes not. I've been practicing ERP for quite a while so it's a bit easier for me to not spiral. But I wonder why that happens. Does anyone else have it? Also I'm on medication idk if that plays a role.
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.
