Honestly you have to realize that keeping track is a compulsion. And doing a compulsion makes your ocd worse. You’ll mess up sometimes and that’s okay but little by little and I mean LITTLE BABY STEPS LOL stop even for a full day then increase it

Because the more u expose yourself and don’t do the compulsion the more u get to sit with the uncertainty and feel the anxiety and then let it pass. Telling yourself you welcome the thoughts help and then letting them know it can only stay a while but then has to go has helped me!

Thank you, both these comments help. I'm going to try what you suggested. I hope I can, just the thought of welcoming the thought is giving me a little anxiety. Maybe as I escort them out I can experience the calm.

Keep checking cameras
On Sunday at work I was stressed and I was anxious all day about ruining my relationship and I disappeared off camera for 2 min and 30 seconds and I’m trying to figure out why and it’s bothering me because I don’t remember I know all morning I was trying to stay on camera so I can prove to myself that I was fine but I think as the day went on like after I video called my boyfriend I felt better and wasn’t paying too much attention to being off camera but I went into the back of the store like the kitchen area and there’s no camera so I was off camera for 2 min 30 seconds and it’s scaring me because idk what I was doing so I’m trying to figure it out and it’s driving me nuts my mind is saying that I did something to ruin my relationship in those 2 min and 30 seconds and I’m so anxious and spiraling I can’t stop thinking about it and talking about it. I just want to enjoy my relationship without feeling guilty.

How to break the loop
How can I stop thinking about my OCD? I’ve had a very bad day today and now it’s the only thing on my mind. Thing is, when I have it on my mind, I’m so hyper aware of my situation, everything begins to be victim to my OCD. How can I get my brain to stop obsessing over my OCD so I can get back to doing the things I like without stressing over my ocd getting to them?
