OCD in a Corner

I have been going through a rough time with OCD.

I end up giving into the compulsion of talking to my husband about some feared consequence of a thought.

I know it was not correct to give into that compulsion.

Afterwards, OCD made me doubt everything that I had told my husband.

Thus, the feared anxiety started to become higher.

Now, I am trying not to argue or interact with the thought.

I am leaving the thought in a corner by itself.

I want to make myself believe that I am stronger than OCD.

And that I will not listen to the doubts of OCD.

It is not easy, since OCD keeps reminding me about that thought, even though it is put in a corner.

OCD never quits with its tricks of placing doubts about what I say.

I feel like going through some type of mental torture, with having these thoughts stuck in my brain, on a daily basis.

Ugh! I know what you mean all too well! I've turned to my husband for reassurance on so many things. I feel so sorry for him. OCD is a bully and it is relentless. I've tried to put the ocd in a corner but have not been successful.

Have you succeeded in putting in a corner sometimes?

I am currently working on putting the OCD thought in a corner.

In the beginning, it was not working.

But for the past few days, it looks like it started to work.

I will just keep trying.

It takes a lot of strength to set aside the thoughts and not give in to the compulsions but you can and will get through this.
