Ocd... its confusing, it’s a doubting disease that makes you go through hell. I am never sure what I am, what if I’m a lesbian?? What an annoying thought. If I could pull it out of my brain I would. Nobody wants to question their sexuality when they know who they are. Everyday is a struggle. Never actually being certain about a thought destroys you. You just want a 100% answer, yeah me too. We’re never going to get a 100% answer though. We will be uncertain for awhile. “So accept it”, that’s what everyone says. It’s hard to do that though. You think I don’t want to accept it that’s not me and if I accept it then I might be that way. Nope, no you won’t. Obviously I can’t get that through my head either but I’m trying. Intrusive thoughts destroy us everyday, but why can’t we destroy intrusive thoughts instead? Why can’t we show the thoughts who’s stronger?? Sit with the thoughts don’t fight them. Don’t ruminate try your hardest not to do any compulsions. Also remember if you don’t feel as much an anxiety anymore (like me) it’s ok. It might make you question if you even have ocd. Remember in the beginning when you cried more than ever? You had terrible anxiety, yeah that was before you started getting used to the thoughts. WHO CARES ABOUT IT ANYMORE LETS SHOW OCD WHOSE BOSS

Do you know hoe much that helped me.. Because im healing and i don't get that much anxiety... And i started to question eveything and the most important one was do i really have ocd.. Then you had this message prepared for me... Thanks soo soo much. And well done for fighting for yourself and others... Guys fight fight fight. You WILL get BETTER

It's not about what we know but about what we want - Behaviour is the best weapon against uncertainty.

Yea I'm same. Sadly with pure o, even if you manage stop the thoughts for that moment in time and accept it, the OCD makes it come back and you have to accept it all over again. For me it's like as soon as it changes obsession it hits reset on any acceptance you have managed to do.

We are all together in this doubting disease. But that is exactly the path to Enlightment (Whatever that means for you). Buddha taught that we must remain groundless, not attached to anything - any view about ourselves and that is the first step to be completely free. In a way, OCD has put us in that path where we don't know exactly what we are. To completely open up, after years of letting OCD spread like a plague because I didn't find the proper help, I have come to a point where I am noy certain of many things: I don't know exactly what my sexuality is or if I truly love my wife buy I KNOW that I WANT to stay with her for the rest of my life. I don't know if I am a a good person or if I have committed a crime, but I KNOW that I WANT to help as many people as possible every day. I don't know if I have HIV or another contagious disease or whether the pain will be so unbearable one day that I will want to die. BUT I KNOW that TODAY I WANT to spend time with my family and enjoy their company and eat some good food.

Wow that really helped me, like a lot. If I don’t want to be that way then I’m not that way easy as that. Thank you so much for that really needed to hear it❤️

See I had these thoughts when I was in 5th grade and I got over them in like the summer and now it’s sophomore year about 4 years later and they are back :(

Thank yoou ♡♡♡
