Having a really hard time living with uncertainty.

I believe in you, you will get through this too ❤️
@sepsomeone Thank you 😊♥️
@MelissaArrowood Youre always welcome 🥰♥️
I’m newly diagnosed and it seems like that’s our goal…to learn to live with uncertainty. Do you want to say more? It’s okay to be having a hard time. You’re human. It’s okay to not be okay. And we’re working on feeling better, on figuring this out.
@JediMJ I’m having a really hard day for some reason. I’m thankful for everyone on here. They know just how to make you feel better because they know what you’re going through 😊♥️
Same. Been having a hard time. Hang in there!
Leaning into uncertainty is the only way to get better in the long run. It’s hard I know but you can do it
I need tips on how to really accept the uncertainty the ocd causes, even if it feels so bad like I might get in trouble for something , do I wanna be okay with that?
I feel like every day I try to sit with uncertainty, but it just feels never ending. Like I receive a little bit of hope and get to the top of one hill and feel like things may get better in a while, there's another hill right in front of me that feels more frightening. It's really frustrating. I know it's the nature of this disorder but ughhhhh
I don’t know how to stop this, but I feel like I physically can’t accept uncertainty about my obsession. I’m having an obsession over prayers. It’s led me to worry about praying for an inappropriate fleeting desire. Me being suicidal has led to my brain using that against me to come up with things I could pray for, like a meteor strike while I’m sleeping (because I would die, so it’s something I really wouldn’t mind). The issue, is earlier today, I might have prayed for it, but I don’t remember if I did. Most people will say it’s intrusive thoughts. It might be, but if I did it in the way I think, I’m not sure that’s the case. But I can’t remember if I did it, and I feel like I literally physically cannot accept uncertainty, no matter how hard I try
