What’s your “OCD Mantra”? (Response prevention message)

I tell myself it's a spam thought

So I call it spam

I usually say “okay and?”. Then I picture my OCD being startled because I didn’t actually engage or acknowledge it as well as ignoring the compulsions. It’s replying with “Well…. Umm… and….idk”. :)

I tell myself that if I don’t suffer a bit by accepting the uncertainty right now, I’ll just keep the ocd going and suffer more later on. It helps me stick to ERP :)
