Accept that the guilt is there and don’t try to push it away. Refocus on what you WANT to do. OCD is a fish, you are the pond; live your life DESPITE what OCD makes you feel. The less you engage with the guilt, the more it actually flies away on its own! You can’t make it go away, but if you let go and let it be there, it will leave on its own!!

Thank you! Do you have any tips on how to practically accept the guilt?

@Mary Hinchliffe It’s less of doing something, and more of not doing anything! Just let the guilt be there. It’s okay if you notice it, but don’t pay any attention to it or figure it out or reason with it or engage. Just simply let it be there if it wants to, and if it’s not, that’s fine too!

OCD Checking Guilt
I’m currently struggling with guilt from checking OCD. By this I mean, I feel guilty and shameful by my OCD checking because I feel as that was immoral and wrong and I really don’t know what to do. How can I fight this?

so overwhelmingly sad and need someone to talk to
My OCD has become so bad and I feel so alone. I have religious OCD (Christianity) and I’ve been doing okay with letting the blasphemous thoughts go in the moment, but I’m so overcome with guilt and shame I can barely function. I can feel okay and hopeful for a few minutes and then I’m reminded of the horrible thoughts and how nothing can take them back and I can’t handle the guilt. I’m becoming a burden to my family and feel so alone. I do not know what to do. Please help.
