ocd with severe anxiety will compel your mind to create a rigid "mental rule". which u apply in all situations, the rule which u keep repeating in your head. U will feel like u hv won & ocd is gone but bcos the " rule" cannot b applied in all situations, soon u will relapse...crashing down back with severe anxiety... & following the rule will make u another person, its not u. So...u definety hv to go with meditation.

The Simile : think of it as a pop-up on your computer screen, like a pop-up targeted to put u in doubt & scare u & it does not have an x(cross out) button. But u can drag the pop-up to the bottom, so it is still there but now u hv most of the screen back to u to do what u initialy wanted to do on the computer. The pop-up will apear back on the middle of the screen now & then but u just grab it & put it down in the corner. So it is always there but u r doing wat u want to do & it will not effect u that much.

Himz333 is spot on. It’s about accepting these thoughts and letting them be there. That to me is the best medicine

Good comments. Displacement of one thought for another does work.

ocd can change themes, topics & thoughts. It will switch from on thought to other. One obsession to other. If your read about other disorders then it can even mimic other disorders & make u believe that u hv that disorder. So, it does not matter what type of ocd u hv- rocd, hocd, pocd etc...focus on MMT (meditation management technique).

I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.

So after my ocd has become more prominent, it gets harder to fight through these compulsion’s everyday. I don’t go to therapy or take any medications and to be honest I am very lost in my journey on how to navigate life with ocd. I don’t want it to take over my life. I want to be able to feel like I can live without a weight on my chest and to finally feel like I can breathe. Any suggestions or words of advice is more than welcome.
