I’m struggling with Taboo OCD themes today

You got this! Give yourself grace and know that God is leading you through this. He knows what you are dealing with and has given you strength and authority over it. He is with you and helping you overcome it. You are not alone. I literally just posted about feeling lonely about dealing with scrupulosity. I was struggling this past week but seeing your post reminds me that I'm not alone in this

No matter how real anything feels remember it is your brain trying to fix something that isn’t there

Yep. You can expect this. This is how OCD works. When the taboo themes come, just tell yourself it is just “par for the course”. This is bound to happen to everyone at some point. Just tell yourself, “Yep, here comes the taboo themes just like I expected.” And then don’t worry about it!

Just know that ocd always shifts to your lowest denominator. For me, that’s everything that is taboo as well. Once I remind myself that ocd wants me to obsess about the most vile things my brain can possibly imagine, I’m able separate myself from the disorder. The thoughts arise in our brain, but we are not our thoughts.

i'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time with your ocd. it sounds incredibly challenging, and i want you to know that your feelings are valid and you're not alone in this. 💙 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was in a similar spot, what really helped me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended to me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized step-by-step support when OCD gets tough, almost like having an OCD therapist in your pocket. it's designed to help you work through the moments just like the one you're describing. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
