Little check in plus advice

Well, I haven’t been on here in quite a while. My main theme is SOOCD with a little bit of ROCD and real event OCD. I have my spouts throughout the months where my OCD will pick up in the thoughts will pick up, but I do pretty good about just letting the thought be a thought and Moving on. But as it keeps going, and it won’t let up, I do get annoyed throughout the process and I have to remind myself that it’s just the OCD being OCD. Now the advice that I need and I’m sure I already have the answer to it, which is basically just let the thought be a thought but I guess I just need to hear that. I’m not the only person that goes through this sometimes my mind likes to go back to old friends past friends that I’m no longer close with her friends with it all, and it likes to ruminate, making me think that I had some sort of crush on them ( my friends are all the same sex and I’m straight ik that’s my so-ocd being a turd) when I know that’s not even the case or the truth. But like I said earlier when it doesn’t stop, it gets really annoying and irritating because I’ve moved on from these people, but my OCD likes to go back to them. Any advice would be great!! Also know that if you have any of the things that I have or just have OCD in general, you’re not alone you do get better. I promise I’ve gotten a lot better. I’m almost like 99.95% better don’t give up you got this!!
