Guilt
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

Exposure guilt
Hi! Does anyone experience guilt about doing exposures? Like if my OCD is right and now I’m going to get possessed or cause this terrible thing to happen it will be my fault. And also prove that my brain DOES have that power which is so scary. I just did an exposure and I feel so worried about my fears coming true and the people I love (& me) getting hurt because of it. How do you get past this? It feels like I shouldn’t do exposures because it’s selfish.

OCD Checking Guilt
I’m currently struggling with guilt from checking OCD. By this I mean, I feel guilty and shameful by my OCD checking because I feel as that was immoral and wrong and I really don’t know what to do. How can I fight this?
