OCD kills me

I have also seen and read stuff that has made my ocd spiral too and I’ve had to talk myself through it and work through it. It can be hard and really frustrating and be challenging. I’m so sorry that you’re going through that and everything that you’re going through! My encouragement would be to tell yourself that the thoughts were spurred on and affected and impacted by what you saw on Twitter, so it was impacted and caused by something outside of you. You wouldn’t have spiraled in that same way had you not seen the messed up stuff on Twitter, so you can remind yourself that the thoughts were caused by the Twitter stuff and your ocd, and they are not who you are. That is a smart choice to delete the app in order to prevent yourself from seeing something else that would cause you to spiral. I think that’s a very admirable choice and decision that you made. I’m sorry, I just realized that this was posted a year ago. I hope you don’t mind me responding still, I just wanted to provide some encouragement that came to my mind. It is my true hope that you experience some relief from your ocd :)
