Remember thoughts are just thoughts, feelings are just feelings. We generally cannot control our thoughts or feelings, and even groinal responses. No matter how much you want to, they just happen and they 100% happen more when youâre worried about them happening, instead except it. Say âthatâs just my silly thoughts againâ or whatever it may be, say oh itâs just that silly thing again. Donât try to work it out, donât try to ignore it, allow them to come but donât solve them. Just expect that theyâre there . The best advise I was ever told is OCD is like a drunk person, they start to say silly things such as âomg Iâm such a silly personâ or âOng youâre so great youâre the strongest person aliveâ you donât actually believe what they say because theyâre speaking nonsense, but you most likely will reply with âoh yes youâre rightâ because youâre trying to just please them, but it doesnât mean you agree with them. Youâre just trying to âshut them upâ basically. For example if you kept saying âno Iâm notâ ânot thatâs not trueâ âno donât be sillyâ the drunk person would carry on saying âno yes you areâ etc etc⌠this is the same with ocd, the more you try to argue with it and say âno this isnât trueâ the more itâll say âyes it isâ however if you just say âyes okay youâre rightâ (even tho itâs not) itâll start to show ocd that you arenât picking a fight anymore, youâre just excepting it and itâll start to get easier. Trust me you arenât alone in this. Ocd is scary. But you can do this. Some other techniques that have helped me massively is this⌠When youâre getting these unwanted thoughts etc, name 5 things you can see around you, 2 things you can smell or 2 things you like the smell of, 3 things you can hear and 5 things you can feel, such as touch your hair etc and describe how it feels, etc. this is a way of just distracting yourself. Itâs a very good technique for ocd and I went from getting 20 showed a day due to my ocd down to 3 showers a dayâŚ. From using this. It works!!! Or take deep breaths that also helps people You arenât a bad person, youâre just suffering with ocd and that doesnât make you a bad person
