The "what if this never goes away" theme has been really tough for me, because I've become really good at calling out the regular themes and taking their power away by recognizing that it's "just ocd again". Now, sometimes my ocd is like "ok you got me, but the thought will still linger around, bothering and distracting you". What this has led to is that I'm less afraid of the content of the thoughts, and more of the fact that they are there in the first place. Though the fact that this means that my ocd is on its back foot gives me confidence. Thanks for reading, and best of success to all my fellow ocd sufferers.
