You don’t have to accept the content of the thoughts, but acknowledge that those thoughts and feelings are present and are not dangerous like your brain perceives. Sit with the anxiety for as long as possible without doing compulsions. You got this!

Just acknowledge that they exist. Going off of blazed, you just need to sit down and let your levels come down. There’s a sos button if you need it :)

Trying not to think of intrusive thoughts
I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you

What are some techniques to stop a spiral?
I’ve recently been having the spiraling intrusive thoughts coming up out of seemingly nowhere. Well not exactly nowhere, having some relationship issues but the thoughts will just randomly show up when I’m clam home reading a book.
