Hi! So I’m new to this app, and I’m really excited to start working with it. I’ve been under a lot of stress. Something that really bothers me is not being able to accept that my thoughts are the product of a restless OCD mind. But I find that harder said than done. Does anyone have any good suggestions for OCD acceptance?

Actually I don't think it's required or even all that helpful to work on reassuring yourself that it's OCD and therefore not real. Perhaps you can find it easier to settle on saying "yes, I have OCD, I recognise that I have the symptoms, but that doesn't mean that my fear can't be true". Because I think that's actually more accurate to reality. I have had OCD worries about things which ended up happening etc. The thing was never the problem, I could never control it in the first place, the problem was spending all my time and energy obsessing about it and trying to keep myself and everyone else perfectly safe/be certain that I'm a "good person" (perfectionism likes to claim that anyone who makes a mistake is a "bad person"), etc. OCD is a separate thing from the thing you're worried about, that's why OCD is always treated the same ways regardless of the content of the obsession. I'd really recommend instead of trying to tell yourself it's definitely OCD and therefore can't be real, just accept that you have the OCD symptoms, as I'm sure you're aware you do, and do the treatments for those symptoms (especially ERP). The actual thing which feels like a problem or worry or threat is something to address or solve only after treating your OCD about it and seeing what you're left with.
