I don’t know what to do
I keep giving in to OCD I wish I could resist it but if I don’t do what it says then I feel weird because I’ve been doing it for so long!

You have to resist the urge, even if it makes you very anxious. I can't do it either, not yet, but it's what we have to do. Not reacting ti the thought helps a lot, I've been able to do it a couple times and it is effective, at least to keep going with your day!
let the thought come and sit in the physical sensation, it’s something that is integral to your healing process! something that really helped me comprehend how to and what that means, along with accepting resistance is actually going back to my childhood and seeing how it affected me back then! i realized i had sooo so much ocd subtypes and magical thinking happening because i was so alone! now that im in a different place i think of this healing as a bridge between then and who im supposed to be! our sickness is so hard so be patient, its still uncomfortable for me as well!
you’re not alone. you have to push yourself and resist the compulsion because it is truly the only way to get better. as you push yourself more and more, that anxiety will begin to dissipate :)
Help me! I acted on a compulsion and now I feel like want to keep doing it. I’m scared. I had been doing okay for these past two days but idk. What should I do?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
I want to go do something I enjoy so badly but I feel like I don’t deserve it. I’m full of guilt, shame, and anxiety. I wish I felt okay like I did a few days ago. I feel so awful right now. I hate OCD. I HATE pocd. I hate all of it. I wish this was easier. Sometimes I have the thought that I wish I was the things my OCD makes me afraid I am out of desperation to stop the anxiety, but then that thought makes me panic bc I don’t actually mean that or want that I just want the anxiety and urgency in the compulsions to stop. I’m so tired
