boring week, i dont have much on my plate except school (i graduated but retakijg a few subjects in my gap year for university) so its a bit hectic going back to waking up early and stuff

Im not struggling as much with obsessive thoughts, began to realize im more worried about the thoughts themselves not the fact that they will happen to me or not , started to become more aware that i will be fine , i wont develop any urges, compulsions etc.. i have control over it and i wont develop something like that just because i read it in a post and kt triggered me , im avoiding triggers and trying to be very calm which is great , im doing calming techniques all the time, going to keep working through these obsessive and very scary thoughts but im feeling good , im becoming less superstitious and scared of things in general , and i do have this lingering fear of losing control , developing dangerous compulsions , i cant seem to shake off because of how much attention i paid it and because im not knowledgable about ocd , so i began assuming and thinking the worst eventhough i know its nit that simple

Just living it day by day and trying my best to not overworry but its hard and the thoughts are just really scary , makes my heart sink

CONGRATULATIONS, Kevin !!! You seem so much more aware and very determined to overcome your scary thoughts. Thoughts are not facts and they can't hurt you.

Day to day awareness and purpose is the best way to handle any problems we have. We know your goal is positive. It's only normal to want joy, peace and harmony withour fear.

I believe it could benefit you to read a little about "OCD". It's very common and you'll see you're not alone. Same with GAD. You will feel reassuance, which is really education that counteracts fears. (Sounds like a winner to me)

Kevin, you have successfully graduated in more important ways than you may think... I see a major difference.

Much love to you
