please someone help me

@Annoying_OCD I've had this theme before.. firstly, disregard groinal response, if you're on meds take them at the appropriate time, erppppppp, when you wake up in the morning do a little erp do help you get started(it sets the tone for the day), understand that pocd is not attraction it's fear, try not to engage in compulsionssss and if you struggle with always engaging in them, delay the compulsions(this would teach your brain that it can cope without the reassurance), recovery isn't linear and doesn't equal no intrusive thoughts or vanishing of the theme(the theme would gradually disappear when you stop trying to make it go, it goes or changes when you've stopped being hypervigilant about it), don't let your ocd define you or how you leave your life(it's a disorder not a reflection of you), understand that you don't need to seek validation especially because it won't aid recovery and most people don't understand a particular theme if they have never experienced it .. it's worse if they don't even have ocd(little wonder why most ocd specialist have ocd too), ocd would make you feel like an imposter some days but understand it is a symptom, ocd would flare up when you're stressed or in your luteal and menstrual phase. Recovery means ocd isn't affecting your quality of life and also if possible try to differentiate between seeking reassurance on this app and genuinely trying to relate or get info...if you avoid triggers or indulge in compulsions, ocd gets worse...some days would not feel like a field of tulips but keep doing erp, delaying compulsions and avoid indulging in compulsions(trust me it gets easier to neglect indulgence as time goes on)...🙏🏽 Pocd can get so better that you'll be around "triggers" and forget you even have ocd till mental health issues are being brought up
