Seriously, sometimes I just make myself start writing in them. When I’m feeling really brave and ready to combat my OCD, I’ll even write in pen. Making a “mistake” in pen in a fresh notebook actually feels so liberating. It’s no longer perfect at that point. It helps me to use the notebook, but even halfway through, I still get that OCD feeling and just have to reignite the fight.

YES good lord I recently rounded them all up in one place and they literally fill a whole file box 🙊 You know what I had to start doing instead? I buy those cheapo steno notepads by the dozen now… since they’re super basic and all identical, and I can rip pages out without messing up the pad, I can actually *use* them 😭

Lists
Lists lists lists, bane of my life. Since I would say last 4 years any worry that pops in my mind I put down on the notes app on my phone then come back to it sometime. Is this OCD?

Fear of fear?
Does anyone else ever feel like this? When you're having a good day without a lot of fear after having multiple days of fear, you start worrying that your good day will be ruined by fear again. It's like anticipatory fear. Anyone else get this? I hate it but I don't know how to make it stop

Any advice for journaling with OCD?
I used to keep journals, but lately OCD has stopped me from journaling. It's like I'm afraid to write down my fears, but I'm also afraid to write down positive feelings in case I somehow "jinx" it. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, any strategies that has helped them? Or journaling strategies to combat OCD? Do you maybe have a separate journal for fears?
