fellow people with intrusive thoughts, what are facts about ocd that help you realize that it isnt you. this isnt a compulsion 

The thing about ocd is that it tries to make you believe it’s lies but there’s a rational part of your mind that lets you know not to believe the ocd. Try leaning in to that rational part, maybe. 

@Veronica🇨🇦 What I mean by “rational part” is that some part of you knows that the thoughts aren’t true/aren’t relevant but the ocd tries to convince you otherwise. The fact that you don’t like/want the thoughts but you have them anyway, shows that it’s just ocd, and not “you”
