Yes Ali they seem so real , how do I reduce , and then sometimes I’ll randomly remember the thought, I will be stuck forever with Ocd because it’s chronic

they will always seem real, you need to make a decision to view them as ocd even though they feel real

But I thought if we view our thoughts as Ocd then it is a compulsion

Think of it like this - Worry about not being 100% OCD while being controlled by your OCD or reduce rumination and compulsions and potentially (yes uncertainty here too sorry) return to a life that is worth it. Living life doing complusions and the thinking that occurs versus no complusions is a 360 difference i promise

Ali it’s not possible to be 100% Ocd free it will always be a part of us

In the next hour make actual progress in reducing rumination and compulsions, you can't just say how bad the situation is, you need to start turning at around and the more you put it off the worse it will get

I don’t really do compulsions but I don’t know how to reduce ruminating or disregard thoughts

Hi Ali I have harm ocd and I am watching your videos but struggling to stop ruminating. How do you know you won’t act out intrusive thoughts?

I think I might have ocd lately, I keep adding new things to my room to "improve it" and now focused on my home theater and I keep get bothering over and over on things like if the tv is exactly at the center, if the speakers are one taller than another and nothing ever looks "even"

Sometimes I get the thought like "when I'll fix everything in the room I'll really be able to enjoy a movie with this new tv, but only after then etc"

Hi each time you get an urge to change something around , resist the urge. Don’t do it

'cause as soon as I start resisting it it bothers me like scratching my brain 'til I don't do it...difficult to explain it in words

thank you, new to this, been talking about it with my therapist which I'm seeing since 2 years, she said we'll just monitor how it goes for now before declaring it's ocd

Also what’s really concerning me is that now that I have no anxiety I don’t react with panic anymore which means I don’t really engage with my thoughts but I still think it’s a problem because they keep coming in, that’s why I believe I’m having them on purpose because I’m just kinda like idc anymore but the thoughts are still coming in. Why? And it’s almost like normal thoughts no

Now and that I’m not even attracted to men anymore. Will it ever come back? If I’m having the thoughts on purpose that means I’ll never truly get rid of them
