Just try to sit with thoughts and the uncertainty and anxiety they bring. Try not to ask anyone for reassurance, that will just make it worse. I had to get to where I didn't talk to people about my OCD because not understanding they would start reassuring me. I had to tell my family not to reassure me. It can be very lonely but people just don't understand, so there first response is to give advice and reassurance. It doesn't happen over night but you can do it.

This is so true, practice makes (almost) perfect, remember you wanna aim for messy because OCD wants you be to exact… you’re not listening to OCD anymore. Picture your future self… does your future (ideal - value moral self) do this? If no, neither do you anymore. When/if you talk about OCD you talk about it in the past “I used to obsess about ****, but not any more” Keep with this, I’m not saying this works for everyone but did for me!

anyone with ocd knowledge can help me?
i would like some advice please and i didn't get any responses 😭.. apologies for reposting but just need some thoughts on this 🥲 //// after frustrations with erp not working, i intentionally brought up the intrusive mental images as well as sensations during an exposure in trying to practice desensitizing myself to them. but now im scared that me purposefully bringing on the images and especially the disturbing outward sensations means that i did something bad or acted on my thought since i took the action to purposefully create and bring the disturbing intrusive images and thoughts and feelings. now it feels like not just a fear but reality. and my anxiety levels are just too much. i'm just feeling terrible and would like some thoughts or support

I am so so upset and anxious right now. At this point I badly need reassurance as Im feeling a whole panic attack coming on. Has anyone ever had the feeling in their head and body like they are actually going to act on a terrible harm related intrusive thought like it actually feels like you are. Im scared as fuck i dont know what to do because What if i actually do that i am so scared does it ever feel like your on the edge of doing it and you get this whole intrusive urge in your body PLEASE REPLY please tell me experiences
