A positive post

Hi guys,

Today I met with my mental health team and I just wanted to share what the Dr. said to me in the hope it might inspire someone else to stand up and face the pain of OCD. He said to me you need to do the opposite of what OCD wants you to do. He means face the bully, we can do this

It's a simple Maxim.

OCD wants us to do the opposite to what our core values are.

So, we ignore that, and go with our true core values- I.e. the opposite to what OCD wants

Slight correction OCD "makes us feel/fear" we want to do the opposite to what our core values are

Had some dodgy moments now this morning where my OCD really upset me but pushing past and recognizing the content is irrelevant and going to have a good day. We can do this

Thank you so much Hal and I’ve had a great day since so it’s totally worth it compared to wallowing in self hatred and pain for the day.
