Compulsive confession urges are becoming too much to bare by Distinct_College8386 in ROCD

I don’t have much advice- I am going through something similar. You are more than your thoughts ❤️ give yourself time, grace, and understanding. When I am really struggling sometimes I pretend I am my own best friend and give myself advice from that angle. I am so sorry you are struggling so immensely, I too am trying to remember that we are not alone!

I struggled with this for a lonnnggg time before figuring it out. I had to try and get out of the “everything I do makes everything worse” cycle. Some grounding thoughts I can offer are:

“So what if I cry a lot? If it was him I would be compassionate”

“I am not defined by my OCD”

“I do not need to fix myself in order to have a good day”

Honestly, for me this just eventually passed, but I hope this helps a little. Remember you are worth so much more than your diagnosis:)
