What is your favorite way of responding to your ocd thoughts? How do tell yourself these are ridiculous, but also not feed your ocd?

Lately I’ve been trying to use a humor tactic. I’ve given my intrusive thoughts the persona of a gossipy neighbor. When the thoughts pop up, I think to myself “oh lawd, there she goes again. Yep, just keep it coming.” It disarms the scariness of the thought.

Omg I love that!!! 😂

@KRC36 You can also respond like “cool story, bro” and just keep moving on. Humor goes a long way. Lol
