@therapistinrecovery: The closer we look at something, the more confused we become. This is such an important fact to consider when looking at the true helpfulness of ocd and anxiety behaviors. If you really want clarity, you must first step back, slow down, accept, and refocus on the present. Easier said than done but worth it! #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #anxietytips #ocd #ocdawareness #ocdtips
when I spiral and then I tell myself “let’s just relax, it’s okay” i then start thinking “why am I telling myself it’s okay” and I spiral more

Adamation :
The thought of not figuring it out makes you think that someday in the future when you’re feeling content and happy, worries and regrets etc of today will crop up and ruin future moments. Which is partly true or can be fully true even if the actual impact feels lesser then than it does today. But ocd and worry will do anything to try to not even make that a possibility. So researching and certainty now becomes imperative. It sucks.

So so many times I have said, “if I can just sit down and think about this, I can figure it out.” That’s always the worst thing for OCD 😭

I'm undiagnosed but base on my years of experiencing this thing I called a demon for torturing me with disgusting thoughts and harming people thoughts and even visions and even touching something I didn't even really touch

Are you able to talk about what may have caused or triggered OCD behaviours in life?

This is one of my bigger challenges and it has been extremely amplified by recent grief. 🥺 A work in progress for sure
