"You're stronger than your OCD". If that isn't the heart of recovery I don't know what is. Healing for me began with taking a stand and saying "No, I'm not going to live my life this way".

Just try this once. Give it your all to stop doing that compulsion. Tell yourself, I chose not to. It's YOUR choice. NOT your OCD's. Just do this once and follow through. Don't cave! <3 Once you do this once. Make it a habit. I believe in you. YOU GOT THIS!!

I personally developed a mindset that might help both visualize and deal with intrusive thoughts - maybe it helps you too.
I like to compare thoughts in general to a social media feed - just like Instagram. It’s just a constant flow of information. Some are interesting, deeply personal, boring, irrelevant, shocking or random ads. You don’t need to engage, they are just information and you decide if you keep scrolling and spend your focus and time on this particular post. You can even train your feed or the algorithm (your thoughts / mindset) in the long run by only looking at content that benefits you because if you keep actively engaging with negative content, your feed will be negative.

I love how you say something so true in "Youre stronger than your OCD" yet others therapists on YT say we have no control over our thoughts and OCD. I appreciate that from you.

This works to avoid the compulsion, but the intrusive thought bugging me to perform the compulsion just sits in my head for days... I sometimes forget to perform actions like turning off the lights in the garage because my head is so clouded with the thought of checking the stove that that just reinforces the idea that I should go check the stove "one last time".

Taking power away from the thought💭 and just saying yes to it and feeling uncertain actually helps, I thought it would make me feel worse but no, it has helped a lot!

This is what I'm doing right now to manage ocd. It really helps.

Thank you for this video, my OCD came back and while it’s not as bad as last year it’s still annoying, I will not give my life away to OCD!

Thank you. THIS video did it for me. For the first time in 3 weeks, I did not do a singular ritual before bed and I feel so much hope and relief.
