I want to know how I can sit with OCD.

Just let it be don't pay attention or "talk" back to it . Do something that makes you happy even tho at the moment you might feel like crap eventually it will be easier. I been doing that and it has helped me a lot . Fighting is silence.

You sit with OCD by accepting the thought. For example you do not want to distract yourself. If I have a thought that makes me want to perform an action, or interact with it. I simply say out loud (to myself whispering in public sometimes) “maybe, but I’m not going to figure it out,” “ok, yeah, sure,” “how about I just wait and see. I may feel this way right now, but I’ll check back in with myself later.” “I feel XYZ, but I’m not going to figure it out.” “I may or may not be XYZ,” there is a book called overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts that’s had a lot of helpful information it it. What people with OCD are advised to not do once entering into ERP is interacting with their thoughts in a way that will cause them to do the compulsion so if something is bothering me and I want to Google it for example, I will say something in order for me to not Google it. Or if I have a thought that is really bothersome to me, and it gets stuck in my brain because our thoughts are very sticky when we have OCD I don’t want to spend my time ruminating on all the possible outcomes in my brain. It is easier said than done but I’ve been in therapy since February and have had a lot of help with it.

Try to find something really interesting and distracting

trying to figure that out rn and i’m already so anxious

Yes to all of this! We don't have to accept what the thoughts say (it's probably all lies anyway, because OCD)... We just accept the thoughts are there. And then do something that is values based. Walk the dog(s) or yourself, go outside, clean up one area of your place (unless cleaning is a compulsion for you, then don't do that), see a friend, play a game... whatever you like to do or want to do. Move on with your day. Anxiety & OCD can come along if they want. But you're going to do your thing anyway.
