Does anyone else with OCD experience extreme guilt? How do you manage?

you are so not alone in this! i have extreme guilt over the thoughts that i have, and its often times hard to eat because my stomach is in knots. my therapist recommended i change it from “i feel guilty” to “guilt is happening” that way it takes the pressure off of you. maybe that could help?

@monica<3 Hi darling! I have tried your advice and found it to work well! I had a horrible day yesterday and just was done with my step dad, my thoughts and guilt were wild. But I allowed my self to have them and said the exact thing you said, guilt is happening. It helped put some space between me and the guilt so I can talk myself into a better mindset

Yes ofc, allow the feeling to exist. But also in a way that’s not to reassuring give yourself the compassion your dealing/ with something you don’t want to and do your best with what you got
