Remeber, you can’t think your way out of anxiety, becuase it’s never satisfied. So you don’t have to figure it out. You should watch chrissie Hodges on YouTube, she has some great videos about all sorts of subtypes of OCD, especially HOCD, and POCD, but she’s got videos on all types.

Thank you so much! I am going to look into these and I hope this helps me to! God bless you! ❤️
i recommend looking up ali greymond on youtube, her videos are pretty helpful. i know if i cant figure out my ocd i feel like im going nuts, but i think trying to solve it makes the rumination longer. it's very hard but sitting with your discomfort is a good thing. if you start ruminating or doing compulsions set a timer, delay worrying or doing any compulsions for 5 minutes, and when the 5 minutes are done see if you can delay it for another 5 minutes. it'll take a lot of tries but the little steps help along the way. hang in there!
Thank you so much for the kind words and advise! I really appreciate it!
Have you tried the SOS feature on the app? It has been helpful to me!
I have a few times! I should!
So I’m new to this ocd stuff and I feel so alone and like a bad crazy person. I live in constant fear that I’m gonna end up doing something bad when I don’t want to. How do I stop this vicious cycle, my head aches from all the stress and I’m so tired physically and mentally. I just don’t wanna do anything bad I would hate to do that. Pls help me out idk what to do my life is sucking rn and I just want it to get better. I’m nervous around my family and knifes and I can’t enjoy my time with them and it’s pissing me off. Only time these thoughts are gone is when I’m sleeping. Pls pls help me :(
Can someone give me advice on how to deal with a bad ocd day please. Last night I had a bit of a bad episode with ocd looking for reassurance on here and googling and the googling didn’t help which I should of know at the start..and I’m just dealing with the aftermath of anxiety.
These last few days my ocd had been maybe the worst it’s ever been. Currently, I am trying to do schoolwork assignments but I’m having a hard time reading because my mind is reading too fast and just skipping over the words then I feel frustrated like I have to go back and read the words carefully one by one with the same brain effort put to each word. Then I feel like I need to go back and look at how much I’ve read up to now and how much I need to read still and compare and it’s a never ending cycle of frustration. My mind is also racing about negative past events on top of that
