My compulsion is confession as well. I started NOCD at the beginning of this year. And ever since I stopped giving into confession (I had to make the active decision that NO MATTER WHAT I CANNOT CONFESS, especially bc I know it’ll just open the flood gates to more and more confessing) it has made thoughts way less anxiety provoking. I’ll get the the thought and since I know I’m not going to confess it anyone eventually the guilt goes away. Sometimes somethings take longer than others to feel less anxious about but it always goes down. Good luck! Very happy to read your optimistic message

I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions

So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget

I’m having a hard time this morning. I’m always living this anxiety of what if I harmed my son on a specific occasion. I know that I’ve look at it a million times and no amount of ruminating is going to give me the 100% assurance that I am looking for. It’s just hard when it ties in with my religious OCD and thinking that there may be sin here that I need to repent of. It’s like I’m holding onto it and I just don’t know what to do.
