Shawn P. :
Licensed therapist here in Oh who specializes in OCD and trauma - - I’d add to the statement of accepting negative things… we overestimate a threat and underestimate our ability to cope.

This is a safe place 💙🌈🇵🇸 :
I know it just reinforces my anxiety and need for compulsion when the stuff I was worried about happens

Maddie Jane :
It is key. Just hard. Particularly hard when your brain is creating new neural pathways and your ocd is attempting real hard to grab on. I had a thought that lasted like 14 months and now it’s trying to grab onto anything!!!

Brooke Meadows Grind :
I had a somewhat traumatic childhood. I have ADHD that also comes with OCD depression and anxiety. I believe ADHD is known to give you pattern recognition so I feel like I’m always a step ahead in knowing that something bad is about to happen or seeing what is going on will lead to something bad and that is the OCD for me because nine times out of 10 I’m right so there’s this fear that if I’m not always looking at the patterns or being prepared for something to goes wrong, it will be catastrophic.

Okay okay. What piece of advice would you give. As a person who suffers from OCD will majority of mental compulsions, I always said what if my parents die, what if my partner dies, etc etc. Now in real life my dad has stage 4 cancer and is trying 2ndtreatment to treat it You can say I’ve been a mess cause I feel my OCD has come true and I’m not coping which is the basis of my fear. What if I can’t cope what if I freak out and never get out of it.

I see salvation :
You are far more expert than anyone, and there is no comparison between us. My understanding of OCD is still limited, but what you said in this clip applies only to specific branches of OCD. For someone like me, a patient with Pure-O OCD or False Memory OCD, this kind of talk would crush them. They would believe that what happened purely in their imagination actually took place and that they must accept it, when in reality, it never happened at all "Thank you so much for your time and understanding. Best regards."
