OCD Real Talk: Sitting With Anxiety

[@Amber-ei4dl]

Really Nice... discussing daily encounter with ocd and anxiety helps sufferer connect better!!

That was our intention in doing this. :)

The worst part for me is that I have hyper responsibility, so whatever the fear is , my ocd quickly convinces me that it’s my fault , that I caused the event , this makes it so hard not to confess . Never fully beaten this but keep trying and your posts help greatly

You can do it Tracey! Make sure you're reading the Myth of Self Esteem, key for us.

@@aguywhohikes1271 thank you I am reading it , it’s brilliant!

[@traceygreenwood1970]

Well done for staying on the plane an thanks for sharing , that’s a great example of the benefits of sitting it out .

I like the idea of delaying g compulsions . I am going to try this , with the hope that it then passes ( a bit like saying I’m not going to eat that cake for 20 minutes and then by time is up you’ve gone off the craving) try and delaying them a bit at a time . I think this might help me more than just trying not to do them .

Can be a great strategy when first starting to cut compulsions!
