I can’t live like this

Me either

They are just ocd intrusive thoughts that is exactly what the disordered part of our brain does. Even if the anxiety we get from the thoughts, make us feel real things in our bodies to the core, those feelings are caused by the anxiety, fear, and worry. But the FACT is that they are not real things happening especially if we dont like them which is why we get anxiety over the bad thoughts that we dont like. Its not our fault. Its out of our control and it will always be out of our control, until we seek professional medical help by a therapist, support groups and getting educated on ocd. Even if we cant control the thoughts, we STILL have the control of how we respond to the thoughts, but we can only do that by getting true education about our individual ocd. Take a deep breath, look around, look up to the sky, look outside of the ocd bubble, take a look at your thoughts by looking in from an outside perspective, and realize that they're not real they are just part of what the ocd disorder does, and they dont define you, they are not you, or who you are, then move on even if the thoughts are still there, because remember thats ocd its an obsessive disorder and an obsession will be just that, obsess obsses and obsses so the thoughts will be obsessive. So if we just do the dishes, do a hobbie or something else, the thought may or may not still be there, but eventually it will pass please dont get discouraged keep going IT WILL PASS.

Yes you can. And you can get better.

When you try to get away from discomfort, it ironically makes you more uncomfortable. The way you escape this is by adopting unconditional acceptance of everything. “What if I was stuck like this forever”. It’s a very scary thought at first but keep asking yourself why it would be so scary to have these thoughts forever. Over time you learn that it’s okay, and the anxiety goes away completely. You can do this. Stay strong

You're most welcome!!

You’re convinced that you’re living in your own perfect hell…and yet in time you’ll find that the life you want is waiting for you on the other side. I’ve seen it happen in my life and so has anyone who’s kept on fighting no matter what
