OCD is nothing compared to you
What is OCD? A vulnerability to certain anxious thought patterns. Do we control all our thoughts? No. Do we control a lot of our thoughts? YES. We absolutely have influence over our thought life, therefore we absolutely have influence over "OCD". We are not passive victims, helpless in the face of some unmovable force acting on us. We are active players writing our own stories, who just happen to fall into the same rut more than others. Let's get out of that rut. OCD is pathetic, it's nothing, it's trash, it's a joke, it's a false reality, it's nonsense, it's lies, it's the enemy wanting us to desperately run circles in our head all day. We have an awesome toolkit - God, exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, affirmations, distress tolerance, thought restructuring, thought labeling, help from family/friends. Let's get this done. Today is a brand new day. This next moment, right *now*, is a brand new moment. Each new moment is a fresh chance to go a different direction, to say "sure maybe" to intrusive thoughts and laugh them off, to start a new life. This is not some fluff to make you feel better, it's the absolute bedrock truth of the matter. Nothing is stopping us from changing our thought pattern at any given moment. Let's take back control, let's get this done, let's get back to what we love, let's go, let's GO, LET'S GO!! OCD is garbage, take out the garbage today. God bless each and every one of you.
