Yep me too! You have to just try and except the thought ! Play with it , joke with it , I keep getting the rocd it’s super annoying , got a great woman she’s amazing in every way I’ve felt with my whole soul how much I love her and I absolutely love loving her and feel amazingly happy with her , and then will feel like eh maybe I don’t want her I think I wanna leave , Idk if I love her , literally right after feeling so much joy and love for her Lolol, it’s stupid contradicting and irrational, but you just gotta try and let it go ! I know it’s hard even me telling you this I’m annoyed and worried but I’ve been through it so many times and end up feeling better after I usually just push through and keep pushing
Honestly need an answer to this too 😞
You just have to accept that whatever you might've done or whatever you thought about has already been done and over with and trying to go back and figure things out won't change anything but heighten your anxiety and your basically trying to punish yourself by trying to feel guilt or anxiety to reassure yourself that your a good person or that you didn't ruin anything it doesn't solve anything. I have a hard time myself with this but slowly getting better.

Was wondering if anyone liked to share how they deal with Severe rumination and anxiety , as I’m always looking to Add to my tool box . Thanks 🙏
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
