My OCD is named Linda and I tell her often “IDK Linda, you’re asking questions idk the answers to and that are none of my business. Let’s just see what happens together, shall we?”

I also love telling myself “you worry way too much for someone who has figured it out every single time”

OnTheCouchWithOliver :
OCD convinces you that if you just find the right answer, you’ll finally feel okay. Treatment works in the opposite direction — learning to sit with not knowing. That’s what makes it so hard and so effective at the same time. 🐾

My therapist taught me the “well that would suck” response and it’s been LIFE CHANGING. “What if unless I memorize this specific poem, the plane is going to crash” “well that would suck” shuts it down so well for me.

This is 100% correct and takes a tremendous amount of practice. Struggled with OCD my entire life and this exact strategy is what broke me free.

Kait :
I ruminate constantly about worst case scenarios and one of the most helpful things my therapist has said to me was basically “why put yourself through this scenario once, let alone twice” and now when I jump to the worst-case and want to ruminate about it, I remind myself that if this thing doesn’t happen, I’m making myself live through it for no reason. and if it somehow does happen, I’m now putting myself through it TWICE

SolaceSoulless :
“I’ll figure it out when I get there” has been my go to lately! I have a lot of anxiety around planning trips, even just 20 minutes away, if I haven’t been there before. I tend to avoid going new places if I don’t have a good idea about parking and how to get to the destination.

Camille Maddox :
I have raging health anxiety (ocd??) and it was making me miserable. A few years ago I made a rule to NEVER research symptoms, and that decision changed my life.

poppytattooss :
one of my biggest issues is that my ocd has told me my whole life that if i don’t find out the information, or fix the “issue” even if i literally can’t yet, then its going to go worst case scenario. like if i let myself not worry, ill be punished by not being concerned by it with the worst possible option happening

since January I've been on prozac and in therapy for my OCD. this is exactly what you need to do if you have OCD and it works! you have to let go... it's hard at first but if you keep doing it, it gets better.
