Whenever I say anything to my husband, OCD makes me doubt, that maybe I never told him.
Instead, of myself, trying to have a battle with OCD, by recalling the past moment, of rehearsing my conversation with my husband, which does not help either.
I was trying to put the OCD thought in a corner, and say to it, that it is a doubt, since I know that I had talked to my husband about a topic.
This is not working since I am interacting with OCD.
Thus, the new technique that I am trying , is to let the OCD thought be there, but pushed into a corner.
There has to be no more discussion with the thought.
In the beginning there will be high anxiety, but it will get lesser.
The thought will slowly fade away.
We are leaving the thought just open, without giving any answers to it.
I hope this helps.
