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?”

Turning the “what if” into “even if.”

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. 🐾

I get this but my "what if" is awful. I don't want to chance it. 😭😭 I mean I know this makes sense, I know that my brain is tricking me, but I can't let go. It's exhausting and I'm so tired.

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.

I genuinely can’t tho. It ruins my entire day if I don’t. If I get some reassurance, at least I can function. (I have rocd)

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.

I am in no way cured, but one of my biggest mantras I tell myself when I fall into an OCD loop is “it doesn’t f***ing matter!!!” Lmao. I guess that is my own little version of this.

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.
