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!

Advice?
I’m a Christian and I’m in my first relationship, often feeling guilty/uncomfortable with various things in relation to sexual purity. I’m struggling to know when things are OCD or genuine conviction. Any advice on how to know?

OCD Guilt
I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
