@megtherapy: One of OCD's most painful side effects isn't just anxiety, it's the slow erosion of self-trust. Use my link in bio to work together. Over time, OCD teaches you that your own mind can't be trusted. It convinces you that every decision needs more certainty, every feeling needs more analysis, and every memory needs to be checked "just one more time." Eventually, you stop asking, "What do I think?" and start asking, "What if I'm wrong?" That's not intuition. That's OCD conditioning. The good news? Self-trust isn't something you either have or don't have, it's something you rebuild. Every time you resist a compulsion, make a decision without seeking certainty, and allow doubt to exist without trying to eliminate it, you're sending your brain a new message: "I can handle not knowing." Recovery isn't about becoming 100% certain in yourself. It's about learning that you don't need certainty to trust yourself. Self-trust is repairable. And every small act of choosing your values over OCD is another brick in rebuilding it. ❤️ DISCLAIMER this content is meant for educational and entertainment and is not a substitute for actual therapy with a licensed professional with you and this content does not constitute a therapeutic relationship.
