Medicine will not help...your mind is just looking for anything to trigger you and when there is nothing it tries to convince you that there is something but you cant remember it...expose yourself to this situation and say yes i am ready to accept uncertainty...just imagine if everything in life was with certainty...do you think you ll settle for it? No you by human nature will start looking for uncertainty to bring some challenges...Good luck my friend

it’s hard but the part of your brain that says “this is important” is misfiring when you worry about uncertainty

Acceptance and commitment therapy would come in handy here, though I have never gotten the privilege to go and do this therapy, sometimes I practice acceptance myself and it does help. I mean, at times I can't and it is too overwhelming and sometimes I succeed and it does wonders. I don't know why nor does my family (I have no therapists unfortunately to guide me) so... I don't know if this helps much. Maybe at least if you never heard of ACT before.

How can I accept uncertainty about a real event that my ocd is latching onto (past mistake)? How can I do erp for it and does anyone have any tips that could possibly help me out? It’s about a mistake I made a long time ago, I think a few years ago, that is haunting me and I feel like it’s so bad that no one could possibly understand and there’s no way I could get better. If anyone has overcome this, do you have any advice that I could use to possibly heal from this or maybe learn something from it? I would truly appreciate it

accepting uncertainty
how do you guys really get yourself to accept uncertainty? when i watch ocd videos and read articles, i think i’m understanding what they’re trying to say. after all, i’m okay with not knowing if i’m gonna get covid even though that’s much more likely than, say, running someone over with my car, but the idea of never *truly* knowing the answer to one of my themes is what trips me up when the panic is horrendous. and when the panic is that high anyway, the theme feels real enough as it is. so what can i do? what were some strategies you guys did to better accept it?
