My OCD has definitely been stronger this week and it’s all surrounding my relationship. It keeps playing on the fear that I’m bored of my boyfriend and that I want to break up with him and I don’t love him anymore. It feels so real and it’s distressing and frustrating but I know it’s my OCD and I’m trying to play into the uncertainty and do my ERP techniques. It’s been a little more challenging this week and I’m feeling upset but I’m trying to let it not get the best of me.

Me too can you please share some tips😭😭

I’ve been doing scripts where I write out worst case scenario and I read it a few times. It definitely takes some work and it can be hard but I’m playing into the fear. I’ve also been working on it with my therapist.

Something that had helped me a bit is to sing and dance to your intrusive thoughts. For example I sing “I don’t love my husband anymore, I don’t love my husband anymore, I don’t love my husband anymore, and I don’t want children with him” to the tune of Happy Birthday. Make sure you smile and dance to it! It’s uncomfortable but helps make it feel less scary!

For me tooo! It's so hard sometimes but we can do it!
