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!
Can someone please tell me at what point did you finally accept that it’s OCD? When did the ERP click for you? When did you just stop buying into the lies of OCD and finally let go? Like what does it take. It’s been 2 years of this for me and I’m in ERP currently and it’s just not clicking 😣 is it just me???
I need tips on how to really accept the uncertainty the ocd causes, even if it feels so bad like I might get in trouble for something , do I wanna be okay with that?
Since I started to accept that maybe some of the problems i deal with might be things that i should accept cause either way I feel shame if i have these thoughts, and i think that being that person is shameful. I'm struggling these days and I noticed I have thoughts about God not being real, not helping me, questioning if its real and these thoughts makes me feel shame. But i keep accepting it cause Im tired that i feel like im lying to myself and everytime i feel like im avoiding the truth, so I try to accept it that its okay that im having these problems(I do the same with suicidal ocd,I start to accept maybe its real) but since im doing this I noticed it makes me depreassed cause of shame. Made things worse, I always spin about shame that it might be true, i try tk accept it but it doesnt work, I feel like maybe i should go back and label every feeling and thought as ocd but i know i wouldnt be free cause i would feel like im trying to make myself feel better... But if its ocd, how can I decide its that if I have the emotions like im losing my faith, I get angry when i hear about faith, sometimes i feel like i really question it, have thoughts like i dont want to have faith...
