does this make any sense to anyone…

i used to be very outspoken in my feminism and marxism. before my ocd spiral. back then it was very easy to dismiss these fears bc i had my values to fall back on. and i wouldn’t entertain mental compulsions bc they were just all weird thoughts anyway. since this all began ive gotten very distant from those things, and entertained a lot of thoughts by testing/checking, that before i would have never just off the basis of it being a gross thought spiral all together. not even allowing these gross images in my head TO check, or entertaining the URGE to check. but i feel like if i stopped letting my ocd get in the way and allowed myself to live through my values again, it would almost help my OCD? like i do a lot of testing and checking which is a compulsion of course, but still im creating disgusting scenarios and images to try and solve my fear. but if i just re-center myself with my values in the moment, i can stop that before it even begins. if i can’t stop compulsing for myself, i can do it because my values dont allow me to. i dont want to do these disgusting compulsions and i feel like that would help me cut it off before it even begins. to try and make this clearer let me try to depict the differences in thought processes previously: intrusive thought/feeling > testing/checking to disgusting mental images and scenarios > distress > align with values going forward: intrusive thought/feeling > stop testing/checking compulsion by immediately aligning with values > no compulsion this makes sense in my head bc i cant stop the doubt, or the testing/checking, bc i feel like i need to figure this out, its the ocd. but my values create a barrier to all this. like i dont even want to entertain the fear with these testing/checking compulsions bc thats gross anyway. idk much abt it but i imagine this is some type of ACT technique. being that im basically just going “i dont want to be the type of person that checks and tests to these gross thoughts” not that anyone is weird for testing/checking. we have ocd, totally normal. but this is just about me recognizing that, i dont want to be the type of person testing or checking to such things, it just makes me feel worse. does this make literally ANY sense??
