How to manage OCD?
Hey guys! I have finally set up an appointment with a mental health specialist but it is going to be out a couple weeks so in the mean time i’ve been dealing with a pretty bad ocd flare up its been abt a month. My thing is I do things that I think are the end of the world and I ruminate and then go around and bother everyone around me and confess everything all the time in order to get reassurance from everyone. I feel better after getting reassurance so should I keep doing it or is it a compulsion? Should I learn to manage it without having to confess everything or should I continue to? I just dont know if its the right thing to constantly be asking everyone around me if im okay 24/7. I know it helps but then i still spiral even after they have told me its okay. Does anyone know how to deal with this? or have dealt with this? What is the right thing to do?
