Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?
Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?
I ran into a situation with eyeglasses and when I have pair and have to pick one I would make a pro and con list , especially these days one pair of eyeglasses could easily cost into the hundreds of dollars and would like to make a good thought out decision.
Normally to have a set amount of time to consider options on a given topic more important things could require more than. When the given time is over try to stick with the decision knowing you gave the appropriate amount of time and consideration to the issue at hand and try to move on to something else.
Ohhhh, another OCD thing I do that I didn’t know was OCD. I thought I was just very thorough…and I am, but I guess it’s anxiety driving it…worrying about making the right decision, weighing all the possibilities. Sigh.
@JediMJ I feel you I hate 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?
Hi All, just wondering if anyone here has any tips with dealing with uncertainty? My OCD centres on my being worried that I have committed a crime and can’t remember doing so, I was out last weekend and my mind is telling me I attacked somebody as I got an intrusive thought to do so when passing them in a bar, my therapist says I need to sit with the uncertainty that maybe I did and maybe I didn’t and have to be ok with that But if the answer is yes then how can I be ok with committing a crime and going to jail??, it’s affecting my relationship and I’m going on holiday on Friday and I’m worried it will ruin that, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
i don’t feel like i’m allowed to make decisions because what if i’m doing a compulsion. am i genuinely uncomfortable or just looking to do compulsions yk?
