@leokatiecbt: OCD can make you feel responsible for preventing things that are outside your control. You might worry that having a particular thought, failing to perform a ritual, or not checking something could cause a feared outcome. This sense of responsibility can make everyday uncertainty feel overwhelming. But thoughts don't have the power to cause unrelated events, and compulsions don't give you control over everything that happens. Learning to recognize the difference between your thoughts and external events can be part of breaking the OCD cycle. You don't need to perform a ritual to prevent every feared possibility. You can acknowledge uncertainty without taking responsibility for things you cannot control. #ocd #ocdawareness #magicalthinkingocd #intrusivethoughts #ocdrecovery
