Keep Pushing!

Every day living is a win against OCD! Don’t let up, it’s gonna hurt like hell, but we’ll come out of this stronger than ever! Practice your uncertainty, welcome those nasty thoughts, no matter how horrible or taboo, look at them straight up and laugh! This is not our reality, we choose our own paths! Life was never meant to be serious! There’s no such thing as a serious sunrise, serious tree, or serious bird! Laugh and love, learn to forgive yourself, it’s beautiful once you come out on the other side for once!

@Anony1314 Struggle is what makes OCD! I’m struggling too, I’m sure my girlfriend thinks I’m crazy after the rant I went on last night

@Julian2006 I'm sorry friend! You are not crazy, and I'm sure she knows that. I have a question. Is it normal for your OCD to lessen at night? Like I feel great at night time and worse in the mornings

@Anony1314 I hope so! And yeah! My OCD tends to be HORRIBLE in the morning, I just curl up all miserable and whatnot, but it tends to get better for me throughout the day. Last night was just a weird day for me, I suppose!

@Anonymous Bc for me it feels as if I’d want some other guy that isn’t my bf all of a sudden bc my brain pictured me wanted some guy it first thought was cute or smth and then it locked me in by saying “I bet the real you would’ve even stopped liking you man when he was still a crush and instead you woulda started crushing on this guy” then I saw him and he was ugly out of his car and my brain was like “nvm he’s ugly. Dang you’re so shallow bc if he wasn’t ugly his woulda been true for you.”

@Anonymous It took a while, and I won’t lie, I still struggle a lot.. even today, I’ve had worries and whatnot, but the people around me keep me going! Your brain wants you to fail, but having people around you makes you learn to not trust your gut nearly as much as you think you should..

@Anonymous Who cares? Only your OCD does! And it’s trying to make you cling onto that! Practice that uncertainty, maybe your brain is lying to you, maybe it isn’t, we don’t know! But we’re not gonna let it control how we behave.

@Anonymous I feel guilty too that I’m stuck again bc my og tactic to not get stuck was that the real me wouldn’t be affected but then my brain said “real you woulda seen this guy and liked him and it felt true bc I prob would’ve thought he was kinda cute ish BUT REAL ME WAS ALSO OBSESSED W my current man (at the time huge crush) and I was like head over heels like I barely noticed other guys even went to the school so idk my brains so evil and tricky
