Great reminder! Many years ago, someone gave me the best advice I had ever heard about OCD: imagine your mind as a river. If you watch the thoughts flow, they will go… but if you act like a beaver and build a barrier to block them, the thoughts will only accumulate and go nowhere.

Great analogy! Thanks 👍

thank you for this..... I am currently having a little set back and this scares me more than anything in the world as it the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with.

I know these thoughts are nothing but silly thoughts that then triggers the awful anxiety that comes along side of it.

I always find it comforting knowing I am

Not the only one dealing with this horrible condition and I give all my love you all that does ❤️

Sorry to hear you're struggling lately but it's good that you've labelled it only as a setback. You will get through this. You just have to ride out the storm until you get to calmer waters. I've been struggling the last few days but my anxiety has now started to ease thankfully. It does make you feel that you are going a bit loopy as the feelings of anxiety are so strong, but they will subside. Hang in there and keep using this site as support as it's helped me through the tough moments. It's just nice to know that you're not on your own!
