I would avoid trying to push ocd away. You don’t have control whether it comes or not. What you have control over is how you respond to it. So instead of saying you hope it goes away or gets better. Say “I hope I have the skills and habits that will make it easier for you myself to deal with my ocd if it comes.”

The problem with what you resist, is it persists. So if you try to push away it means you fear it. And if you fear it, it will get stronger. Rather accept it. You shouldn’t care whether it comes or it doesn’t. Because you don’t have to react to it. And it doesn’t have to ruin your day

@Sasha Agreed. If you stop resisting, you WILL get better. That’s the only way to get better. Let Christmas be your motivator and start today!

Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)

I dont want my relapse to stop me to assist, I will go but I am sad because I don't want a beautiful moment to became horrible because the fear and dicomfort I am feelling this days. It will be a good exposure but how can I enjoy it? The depression came back, I wasn't prepared for this, like I knew OCD is chronic but I forgot it hahaha Right now I am trying just to think in short times like, 24 h and it is helping a bit Update: The day was really good !
