It is hard work for sure. But remind yourself that doing a compulsion will provide only temporary relief and it will return. That ocd trick.
i go through the same thing:( it sucks and i always feel if i don’t do it then something bad might happen but i just try to tell myself that no it wont happen its just my ocd its okay think positively. hope you find peace in your mind<3
Thank you! I will do my best
You have to be brave and curious, and take it one step at a time. The more you can not give in little by little, the more confidence you will have with bigger intrusive thoughts. But you have to take the “risk.”
Thank you for this. I’m going to apply this when the thoughts come up.
Help me! I acted on a compulsion and now I feel like want to keep doing it. I’m scared. I had been doing okay for these past two days but idk. What should I do?
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
I know the truth deep down but I am just doing compulsions to try and convince myself that I have OCD. I try to look up and find things exactly the same and me in experiences how I feel and everything else and it becomes worse when I can’t find the same person as me. I know people do compulsions to make sure they love there partner but I feel like I do compulsions to CONVINCE ME it is ocd
