Hey!! I wanted to just share something that’s been helping me a lot. I have rocd and so ocd and it started when I was 19. I started dating my boyfriend when I was 18 before having any of the thoughts that I have now. I know a lot of us on here are always like “I want my old self back”. And I DO TOO. So whenever I’m worrying about something I just think, “would my old self be worrying about this?” And most of the time it’s, “no she wouldn’t be, so I don’t care about this.” And oh my gosh it’s helped so much, I’m starting to feel like myself again and it’s the best feeling.

That’s awesome! My first memory of OCD was at age six so OCD is very much entangled with my sense of who I really am. In fact one of my concerns about treating it has been “what if it changes me and my values entirely?”

Great to hear! Glad you found something that helps!

Omg thank you for sharing this, I want the old me back more than anything so I'll certainly be trying this
