Need for Certainty
Hey guys. Just a reminder that regardless of the subtype, our need for certainty is the enemy. I hope you guys are doing okay today. Any victories or grievances that need to be shared?

Yeah, very true I'm currently in a very reassurance-seeking mood. My brain has me pretty much convinced that I'm a zoophile, or becoming one, and it wants me to run through recent and past events and like all of my beliefs to see if I am. I'm doing pretty good at ignoring it, but it just sucks to be in that anxiousness cuz it really wants me to be sure I'm a good person, and it wants me to find explanations for things in the past that I don't have clarity on

The reminder is right on time thanks 😊.I have been dealing with an important issue over the weekend making my pros and cons list mainly between 2 choices to resolution of a problem I have to decide on . And you are right in spite of the choice or the outcome , you can be certain or sure and it is best to just make your peace ☮️ with that and welcome the outcome in the end as a learning experience.

Thank you for that reminder, a victory that I have had is that month ago I had trouble even stopping rumination at all, troubles leaving the house, being present now I can go 30 minutes with ruminating and bring present in the moment

Feeling very frustrated today
I have come so far in my therapy and days like today feel like I’m just still buried in OCD. Sometimes it is so insidious and I don’t realize I’m in a loop. Once I do realize it, it’s hard to get out. I thought sharing here may help, as I never have, but I know you guys will understand. It’s so hard to decipher between regular anxiety and obsessions and compulsions. It has all just become one big ball of panic. Anyway, I’m just struggling today - so thanks for listening.

Do you all ever feel jealous of other subtypes
People are always talking about their contamination ocd and all that stuff and i know its selfish but like I wish that was all I had. I have never had a worse subtype than what I have now and its hell.
