What are your wins?

I think just finding better ways to think of obsessive fears and reframing the situation. For example, I have trans OCD and so I’m scared I’m actually a trans woman even though I’ve never wanted to be a woman. I recently started seeing gender as less binary and more of a really complex idea, and I think viewing myself not as “male” or “female” but as just myself, who has mostly male tendencies and enjoyments and everything, makes me feel a lot less stressed. This also helped me with sexual orientation OCD, where I stopped wondering if I was “gay” or “straight” and just started seeing myself as somewhere in the middle, but I like many more women than men so functionally straight / maybe a little bi. So overall, sometimes reframing obsessions can help a TON even though it’s a simple change. So experimenting with ways to think about things. But also, I have pretty minor OCD so I don’t know if this will help other people

Finally starting to internalize the idea that there actually may not be anything to solve and sitting with that long enough until my compulsive behavior subsides.

Just a few days ago I told my partner about my most persistent intrusive thoughts that I thought he would judge and leave me for. I honestly feel a bit stupid for thinking this way now, though I know I couldn’t control it. But of course, he reassured me that he loved me and stayed with me
