the way I deal with intrusive thoughts it's separating myself from them, I just think woah that's so not me and try to continue with what I'm doing, I know it's hard tho because I've been where you are now, but it gets easier and easier, just keep going you got this

I still struggle with this. Sometimes I’m unable to for days but eventually I able to talk myself out of it. I walk myself through what actually happened and separate the truth from the false memories I create that make me feel bad

Some advice is to know that thoughts aren’t you and to know that these rumination days won’t last forever. You’ll get through and you’ll be okay.

Advice?
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!!

how to deal with real event + false memory??
im going to be vague here, but basically i did something in the past that i regret and it became a huge point of my OCD but i have talked to my therapist and i have mostly moved past it. i watched a video by an OCD youtuber that really put it into perspective. anyway, i have been with minimal worry for a few days, but now im having worries related to i think false memory? basically it’s like “oh but what if i said/ did this and just forgot that means i harmed this person im a bad person”. to me it sounds like textbook OCD but im just wondering if anyone else has experienced false memory / real event at the same time. i have a really horrible memory which is making it even more stressful. any responses are appreciated!
