You have got to stop posting if you want to make any progress. Do something else because you’re just making the ocd worse every time you sit here and post over and over and ruminate and feed the ocd thoughts! Go outside, do a hobby, watch tv, read a book, anything !

@Lilyrosalynd If you’re posting over and over like you’re doing, you’re ruminating, you’re seeking reassurance, you’re not posting on here for no reason

@Lilyrosalynd Ruminating doesn’t take different forms, what you’re doing is ruminating and seeking reassurance. Sit still with your eyes closed and analyze is ruminating but so is what you’re doing, so is going out to the store and saying omg that girl looked at me maybe she has a crush on me, did I look at her , I hope she doesn’t think I like her. Or being anxious when you see a billboard of an attractive lady and asking yourself why it gave you groinals , was it the billboard Or something else. These are just examples. The best way to beat ocd is to be educated on it so maybe start by researching what rumination is and how to not do it

You need to stop seeking so much reassurance. It’s only making things worse.
