Does anyone respond to their OCD by saying things like: “Thanks OCD! I’d love for that (insert awful fear) to happen! Sounds like a great opportunity for me! Thanks for that suggestion!!!” Has that been an effective response for you? I’m thinking of adding it to my repertoire!

Yeah it actually helped me most of the time. But i think when it comes to huge panic attacks it doesn't seem to work so well ( I'll become even more panic😂😩). But ofc everyone is different so i suggest you to try it.

Does it feel genuine or does that not matter?

@mamabeloved It depends on the situation. Most of the time it feels sacarstic, like you're just joking around wt ur ocd. But there are still times when it feels genuine, just take it as erp and sit with the uncertainty 👍.

Yeah, it works great for me! It was hard at first, but over time, you start to take the thoughts less seriously, and it gets easier.

@mamabeloved OCD feels genuine for everyone. That's its sneaky trick to keep us trapped. The key is to just trust the process no matter how real it feels. You will get better this way.

Also I like the way you worded that. You don’t have to get into all the specifics this way.
