Are You Confused About Accepting Uncertainty?

Just wanted to give some clarification on having certainty vs not having certainty when it comes to OCD. There has been some talk about that lately, and I just wanted to put in my opinion!

I agree with you! I suffered of Su1c1de OCD, and after some episiodes near to me, I was too sensitive that I almost can't hear the word su1c1de. Doing trauma therapy helped me a lot to get more confortable to talk about the theme, and then I learn to deal with it very well.

Oi, como vc tá? I am a 46-year-old Brazilian and I discovered two months ago that I have pure OCD. I have learned a lot from you. I spent a few days feeling terrible, disgusting, and your tips helped me during that time. Thank you. While I'm writing here, OCD keeps insisting that writing is pointless and how small I am. It's lying; I can be happy finally. Now I can smile.

Pocd is ruining my life. Was alcoholic due to it. I’m not on high Sertraline and taking Valium daily. I can’t recall an event or series of events perfectly. It’s driving me insane.. it all started when someone lied about their age to me and ever since, in intervals, I’ve ruminated. This happened like 6 years ago now? I added and un added this person and wonder were they the age I knew or were they the right age by the time I added and un added him next day.I know I was in bad rumination, and likely added him due to this drunk.
If I ever was a prèdator, I can’t live with that. I can’t recall older conversations. Just feelings of disgust when someone is not the right age . Surely I’d know? There’s no money in this world I wouldn’t pay for certainty.

I have to accept what I'm thinking about no matter how thoroughly abbhorent it is with zero silver lining. I've hit the lowest of low points in my life.... they've been constantly threatening to wipe me out

What does it look like to not accept the certainty? Instead of telling myself “maybe I am maybe I’m not” what should I tell myself?

I think iCBT may be a great option for this :)

I need to know how to overcome needing to wash things coming into my house from the store. Example is I need to wash a can of corn before putting it in the cupboard. Amy ideas. Fear of having the cupboard smell bad and fear of other people germs.
