Really struggling...
Does anybody else feel like they're just constantly guessing at how to make sense out of OCD and the experience of it?

Yes and it is my daily existence ngl - it does get better with time and practice though.

In my experience, usually the more I try to rationalize OCD, the more I feed into the cycle. The more Iām able to embrace uncertainty, and let things just be and not judge as harshly, the more freedom I have from the cycle. This came from experience in ERP/therapy, and Iām still in the process of getting better at it. I try to view recovery as a marathon and not a sprint. I hope this helps in some way!

Yep and the term "OCD" just doesn't seem serious enough to justify what's going through my mind

I just want to feel like I know myself again, like I can live in my own body and be myself, and I want to be able to understand what I'm experiencing in life. š It seems like I have experienced how accepting uncertainty has helped me in some ways, but right now I'm wondering if I've just been lying to myself and creating another unhealthy pattern (my OCD has latched onto my relationship, so I'm specifically talking about that). I know no one can answer that for me. I'm just really struggling right now.
