Hey everyone,
Something I figured out that is important in knowing when you have OCD, is that THOUGHTS WILL NEVER LAST FOREVER. We must keep this in mind.
The reason this is important is that one of the big pushers behind obsessive thought and the need to engage in ritualistic behavior is the fear that the thought will never go away. We must learn that, this is NOT TRUE.
No matter how long it may take, even if it's a WHOLE YEAR, or EVEN MORE, the thought will eventually subside and become a neutral thought.
One of the great challenges, I believe, of OCD is having the ability to switch a thought from fear mode to neutral mode. The thing is, we don't really have that ability, and that's why the thoughts continue to torture us so badly.
Remember, no matter what, WE'LL SURVIVE.
With love,
Tareq
