Help!
My ocd is hard today- it’s been two weeks focusing on the same ocd thoughts and countless checking repetitively. Any suggestions?

I struggle with this as well. I check something once and then force myself to live with the uncertainty.

@Anonymous But ocd says “but check again you may have missed something.”

@Tony Davies Actually your ocd doesn t tell you that Ocd WORRIES that you may have missed something And worry is just a worry You have to change your Understanding of Ocd When it comes to you know this: right now everything happens because you think that ocd is a Fact bringer No its actually Worry bringer. Test this for yourself you will see eventually that it is the truth.

@Mrcino 1408 Good point, it puts you in a false reality and false story and everything feels so real

@Mrcino 1408 The checking also makes the ocd story worse

@Rosesrred That’s interesting, never heard of it. It’s something how once you check, ocd spikes and has you re check and you go into a loop

@Rosesrred This also worked for me! Setting a timer did wonders and you can build up and grow that muscle of resistance!

My therapist gave me this example: When you turn off something, and have other things on your mind, you tend to forget if you turned it off and ruminate to no end. She said to really concentrate on unplugging something, clear your mind of all thoughts, and actively concentrate on turning it off. It has helped me tremendously. Take care!

Yes but you need to learn Why does it come from, and from where, from what beliefs, from what emotions

Its Super hard, but you need to know, that this is a process brother, just know this. It is extremely curable Only it takes time for your brain to indoctrinates that Work on yourself. Use papir and pen Wriite down not just context of your thoughts but The feelings the give you and Beliefs that the give you and rituals that you need to perform Write down Everything I reccommend only Break free from ocd book You will see how it s stoping you brother from living your life Enough is Enough! You need to beat this problem You have to! You suffered enough! I know your pain every second every minute every day always Loops and stuck in place You have my support This is going to be a journey for you Journey of new old you

How to break the loop
How can I stop thinking about my OCD? I’ve had a very bad day today and now it’s the only thing on my mind. Thing is, when I have it on my mind, I’m so hyper aware of my situation, everything begins to be victim to my OCD. How can I get my brain to stop obsessing over my OCD so I can get back to doing the things I like without stressing over my ocd getting to them?

Okay so I have been struggling with pocd. And I have been getting better but now my ocd is telling me that I'm proving it right by slowly started to get better. For example, after so long of trying my hardest to avoid anything protaining to children I realized that I have to in order to get better. So I've been letting myself go out more and yk see children. The intrusive thoughts are still there though. Which is feeding into it trying to convince me that it's real. It feels like it does that anytime I'm a step closer to getting better. Does anyone have any advice on how to help it? I struggle with mental checks and responding. I know that I should let it pass but it's so difficult. The intrusive thoughts have been getting worse too. They pop up over the smallest things. It's all just jumping to insane conclusions and I'm so sick of it. I just want to be better.
