I challenged myself today to attack the intrusive thoughts Iāve been getting regarding children. I went to get covid tested and I saw kids everywhere. Wanted to look away, I was expecting the worse. I kind of went in there with a ācome at me broā attitude towards OCD. Compulsions might definitely feel like the best thing to do when you feel so scared. But you have to tackle these thoughts, and OCDās lies!!!

It takes time. Don't rush your recovery, and make sure you aren't taking on too much all alone.

What about telling yourself you definitely are instead as part of your ERP?

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? š

I need tips on how to really accept the uncertainty the ocd causes, even if it feels so bad like I might get in trouble for something , do I wanna be okay with that?

Recently my ocd keeps asking me if I love my boyfriend enough and that if I donāt love him enough I should breakup with him. Itās really bothering me and idk what to do about it. Sitting in the uncertainty is too much and I fear sitting with it too long Iām just gonna crack and give in to a compulsion.
