@davidjonesmental: OCD doesn’t show you what’s true. It shows you what you are the most against. When your brain memorizes there is a terrible thing, that if it ever happened, it would be the worst danger ever. Then the whole goal of your brain becomes always convincing you of that danger to make sure you always “protect” yourself from it. Your brain thinks the only way it can protect you from a danger is by doing these 4 steps: 1. Making you think about it Intrusive thoughts, constant worrying/ruminating, fixating on something etc. 2. Making you feel bad towards it Anxiety, fear, shame, disgust, mimicking a different feeling that would mean the danger is real 3. Convincing you it’s real Why it always feels like this time it’s different, or like it’s a fact or there is proof this time 4. Convincing you it’s terrible Catastrophizing always making it the worst thing in the world that means all these other awful things on top of the danger itself This is why you always have those awful thoughts and feelings. They do NOT tell you what’s real. They only show your brain has memorized a lie so now its goal is to convince you of the lie to protect you. So even if you “know” the fear is true this time… It still isn’t. It just shows what you’re the most against. #ocdawareness #ocdproblems #ocd #ocdrecovery #ocdlife
