I have harm ocd and I have to be really dominant with myself and my values. I am not that person. I know that’s not what I want to do. That’s not what I am choosing to do. For me I clap my wrists together for a physical sensation to break my racing thoughts. You’re doing a great job coping by coming here.

@bekind94 Would it be helpful to remind yourself that you have made this pact when these thoughts come up for you?

@bekind94 “I already took this up with GOD. Trust. We good.” (And then laugh in the face of evil if you want to 😆)

The biggest thing I’ve learned is to stop trying to win the battle with your intrusive thoughts. Unfortunately intrusive thoughts will come and we can’t control that. But we do choose how we respond to them. I work on a lot of response prevention methods so when I get these intrusive thoughts I’ll be like “just because I have this thought doesn’t make it my new reality.” I am currently trying to cut down compulsions/ruminating with my theme. This is so hard but give yourself grace
