I started having OCD when I was 14. It started because I was afraid of the thoughts. But I wish I knew the truth back then! The truth is that the thoughts are MEANINGLESS. You don’t have to be afraid of them because they are not dangerous. You can just let the thoughts run FREELY through your head. I spent years and years in misery being terrified of the thoughts. I had bad thoughts in my head about God every second of the day. I was scared that if I didn’t “fix” every single bad sentence in my head, that I would go to hell. So I spent hours every day “fixing” the thoughts. I learned in later years that we are not supposed to fix the thoughts. We are supposed to let them run freely in our heads. It doesn’t matter how bad or scary they seem. It just doesn’t matter if the thoughts are in our heads or not—so we don’t need to push them away. When I finally started letting the thoughts run freely, that freed me up so much. ERP therapy will help with all this. Have you heard of it?
