yes this happenes to me!!!! ocd is so silly like just because i seen a thing doesn’t mean i like it 🙄 just try and live with uncertainty it’s hard im trying my hardest to to just say “ okay and “ “ so what” “ maybe, maybe not”

Yes, this has happened to me, mainly because for some reason diaper ad keep appearing for me? and then I thought there was a reason for that, but I never even researched anything related to diapers. I started marking the ad as "seen many times before" and stopped questioning. When I stopped hyperfocusing on this, I never noticed which ads appeared or not.

Yes this happens to me often. The best way I can cope in the moment if I am flooded with the distressing thoughts and can't get a handle on them straight away is to distract myself. Watch or listen to something that will really captivate your brain. Once you're not feeling so overwhelmed, I choose to try and challenge the thought. "That's not going to happen", "it's just a video" "this isn't my reality" etc. Sometimes when the emotions are heightened during the trigger exposure, it's hard to wrangle the thoughts. Start by distracting your brain, sometimes it helps ☺️
