A little reminder for you…but also,low key me too.
Instead of WHAT IF?….think, EVEN IF.

Hey, thanks for posting 😊 that’s a great way of thinking and helps challenge your OCD. Another amazing quote to challenge your thoughts and lean in to accepting that uncertainty is “maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t happen”. This was literally life changing for me, as well as “there’s nothing here for me to figure out” !! You’ve got this, keep going my friend and Kick OCD where it hurts 😬
Sometimes i feel like im using ocd as an excuse. What if i dont really have it and im just freaking myself out? Does anyone feel this way
sometimes, to try and prove my fear wrong i’ll be like “ okay, let me think of this REALISTICALLY. would i REALISTICALLY feel this way or do this thing? “ then i come up with scenarios in my head on how i think i would realistically ( or logically ) do something but then my feelings go against that thing i thought of then i start getting anxiety and start to fear that i would actually want my fear to happen or that i’d feel a certain way that proves my fear true. it’s basically just checking how i feel about something i think of to try and prove my fear wrong, checking my emotions or checking how i think i’d realistically feel towards it.. but then i may react “ unrealistically “ it goes wrong and i freak out
just when I think i’m having a good weekend and I can forget about my struggles my brain tells me i’m not allowed to feel happy and that there’s always SOMETHING i need to be worrying about. so frustrating :(
