Compulsions

You kinda have just keep going and try again to not do the compulsions. It takes hard work to stop doing compulsions it will not happen over night. Let it go if you miss up and just try again. With ocd you can be hard on yourself and get mad if you are not make progress fast enough. But just keep trying and you will slowly improve. With ocd you want to fix things right now but sometimes things take time and patience and you have just wait and keep working on it.

I'm not a therapist, but I've questioned myself about this before as well. What made me feel more comforted was simply accepting the fact that I have compulsed. It was me realising that this is the reality and no amount of self-blame and insults will help. When i realised that it's okay to feel angry and upset about it, I felt better and more at peace. Another thing that comforted me (especially with the anxiety that came with performing conpulsions or having obsessions) was accepting uncertainty. Telling myself "maybe so, maybe not. It's okay to be uncertain" helped me :) We're in this together :D💞💞

I am not looking for reassurance; I am looking for legit answers.
