Today I realized that my OCD cry’s wolf a lot. In reality, there is rarely a crisis that I have to figure out, research endlessly so I can do something about it. Boy am I grateful to have that insight! I am grateful to be able to say “Ya, ya, thought you can be there. I am not doing battle with you but I am getting on with my day.” ERP has been so good for me. Accepting that my mind sends me faulty warning messages and thoughts has made it much easier to respond appropriately. I am healing! I am living again!

Love this. And that’s exactly how I feel about my OCD! It’s cried wolf so many times and it even says “I know I’ve cried wolf all those other times but I swear I’m for real this time!!!” But it’s lying yet again. Keep up the good work!
