Definitely tricky. I would start by trying to identify the question or questions your OCD wants you to answer first. Try to be vigilant for when these questions come up. Notice it as soon as you can and then try to resist answering it. When I get stuck like this, I respond by saying "I'm not answering that right now" or "I don't know, I have no way of knowing that and I'm not answering that question". Something along those lines might help.

Ruminating Help
I ruminated too much this morning and got distressing mental images (and confirmation) which sent me spiraling again. How do I stop thinking about this and how do I get back to myself? I feel destroyed.
