Acceptance
Hi! Does anyone else find it hard to accept that you have ocd? I think it’s the most difficult part.

I honestly still think I’m just “on the ocd” spectrum and not really ocd because so many people have it worse. I’d like to learn coping mechanisms and how to stop feeling like I’m in a fight with my brain all the time, which is how I justified coming here to myself.
@Leth Thanks for sharing. It helps a lot.
@menenia❣️ Absolutely. Sending you love.
I also think it’s a wide spectrum and that it’s important to keep that in mind. I’ve had a hard time accepting it bc I thought it meant I must be destined to go down an extreme path, but I see now that it’s just accepting the forms I have in order to let them go and get to where I want to be. Good luck!
@ECM17 Thanks!
Does anyone just have absurd thoughts, and have such a hard time accepting them? OCD is tricky and how can I just accept this is how it is . I’m so tired of fighting myself. I have such a hard time accepting these awful thoughts about killing my daughter.
i was recently diagnosed with ocd and i think im having a hard time identifying what is my ocd and what isn’t? or im not really sure how to express myself but i feel like i still don’t really know much about ocd and feel like an imposter saying i have it because i don’t know enough about it to really understand it? like all my life these things i would do or say or think or feel were i guess “normal” to me,, so how do i move forward when i don’t know really where to begin?
I've been told a lot that in order to get better, we need to tolerate uncertainty, which yea I get that and I'm trying every day more and more to reach that point!! But I've also been told that we need to tolerate uncertainty AND "our worst fears becoming true". Like how does that work, especially with POCD, OCD about a///ault, SA and all of that? Like that is really difficult for me and I don't really understand how I'm supposed to just shrug stuff like that off
