  1. Do you have any ways to stop or help rumination and doubt?
  2. @PolarBear I am reading your book at the minute and am really enjoying it, thank you for raising awareness so Well
  3. Hello, I just wanted to reach out to this community and introduce myself and talk to people who also suffer with OCD and learn more about this horrible illness. I was diagnosed after self admitting to A&E in January and since then I got a diagnosis of OCD and GAD with intrusive thoughts. I have suffered from all themes of pure ocd as well as doing everything in the number of 3s until then they don’t feel right. I suffer a lot with OCD thoughts and I am always worried if I have ever done anything wrong in the past. I am in a continuous battle with my rational brain with what I know I haven’t done anything and then the irrational to check every past event to make sure it’s all okay. I seek reassurance a hell of a lot but I have supportive family who refuse to give me reassurance and I enjoy going to work and generally being active. i am currently doing CBT and ERP which is helping greatly I am just struggling to stop ruminating so much. Any advice at all? I have read lots about not reaching certainty but is there any way I can just not even consider the intrusive thoughts?
