Advice plz

Everything they said is really valid, you, you personally know that no matter how big and real feeling something is, it is just a thought- and most of the time, the anticipation of a thing is worse than the thing itself. I scare myself much more about how it Could feel and then if I do it, it's usually not as bad

you're welcome, good luck! At the end of the day, you are you and you can do this

Take one step at a time. Our feelings aren't facts. We must get out of our comfort zone and face our fears. Sit in the uncertainty. Someone once told me, "Sometimes you must role with the waves. Storms come and we can't stop them. "

Try saying to yourself that might happen, but it might not happen. I don't know. I'm just going to walk in the uncertainty of not knowing. I can do this. I tell u OCD I'm not paying attention to you. I'm going to be firm. I'm in charge of my mind. I'm in charge of my brain. I tell u NO. My answer is No. Then, go do something fun even if it's just 5 to 10 minutes. You could do something creative. Write a poem. Draw a picture. Dance. Whatever you like to do.

Welcome!To God be the glory! I'm a work in progress myself. I use erp to help me do dishes and deal with intrusive thoughts. None of us are perfect.

Hey, sometimes you actually can't overcome the fear, it is too much. But, that's right now. There are plenty of time a day where I just do the ocd action cause it's too scary not too- but I try to remember that that does Not mean that it is real. And it only means that it's too scary Now. You are working on this, you are trying and you can make progress one step at a time, until you are at a point where you might as well just not have it

Also, kind of random but a thing I know to do as like 'homework' is pick one or two specific ocd habits/fears and just work on not doing those. And try not to do other stuff but specifically those, and then after like a week you add another and another and that can help ou take it one step at time, in a manageable way

We can have peace knowing that God and Jesus love us. There will always be trials, but how we face them makes a difference. We can all get stronger in our character through trials. The more we face our fears the more confidence we will have in facing them.
