@dralexgeorge: Managing my OCD meant facing the thoughts that scared me most and resisting the compulsions that brought me relief. I’d write down my worst fears and read them back, learning to sit with the anxiety without doing the things that temporarily eased it but kept the cycle going. It wasn’t easy, but it helped me realise that my thoughts are just thoughts and I can get through this. In the season finale of the @Figuring It Out podcast, we explore what OCD really is, what living with intrusive thoughts and compulsions can actually feel like, and the connection with autism. Listen to part one wherever you get your podcasts. I hope it helps you understand yourself better and feel less alone 💚
