Problems don’t always have the same solutions. Sometimes you need to make yourself repeat a bad thought to make it feel less scary, sometimes you need to talk to a loved one about it and it’ll go away immediately, and sometimes if you give it enough time, you’ll see that it’s the problem is a bunch of nonsense and it’ll disappear. It’s important to find a method that works specifically for you and your problem and help yourself however you can!

I know how you feel. Ocd likes to put junk in our heads just to make us feel miserable. But, if we show ocd that we’re not afraid of it anymore, we can overcome it! Try to not fight off the thoughts it makes you think. Fighting them will make them stronger. When you ignore them enough, they’ll start to disappear. And you can toss them aside. When you get too much, just stop, take a deep breath, and tell yourself you’re going to be ok. It’s hard, and it requires a lot of patience and willpower, but you can do this!
