Joewest439 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi all, Can someone help me with something. I'm having real trouble letting go of another aging obsession. I keep using various means of justifying why I should let it go, ie it's OCD / it's pointless / it's silly / it's not necessary, etc. This never works. It always seems to prolong things, when I try to make myself see these obvious points. But it's hard for me to simply ignore the subject without using one of them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment
Isthisreality Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I am sorry but the only thing that seems to work is to collect all your bravery and let it do its thing. Arguing with it never helps In some sense do i understand that it is my OCD, sure. But then do i get this instant doubt, but what if 0.01% of this is REAL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIGURE IT OUT. IS this really your OCD. Or what is OCD? Isn't OCD you? Isn't OCD your brain? What is a thought. AND IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON. I don't find it helpful to tell myself that it is my OCD. HOWEVER i do think or i have the opininon that you at some point need to know that you have OCD, when i was a kid and i got my first thought about how i had LET ME MOTHER DOWN, when i left her when i went to school, would it be nice if i could understand that it is not really how it is. But beside that - do i honestly don't see how it could make it easier. My OCD never says "yes yes i am your OCD, this is just a joke, so now go on with your life."
