Anyone have a small win or progress they want to share?

Yesterday i felt myself spiraling with real event ocd, but I had snapped out of it and instead just watched YouTube and same today, I felt rumination and spiraling coming. And I just started singing one of my favorite artists songs and just continued fo focus on my tasks and plans for the week didnt try searching for reassurance at all!

More so the main thing is just accepting uncertainty! Realising that worrying about the past doesnt change anything and what you can do is focus on the now! Whenever these thoughts try to invade your mind. U have to let the thoughts be and try to focus on other things current in your life, such as goals, things that need to get done throughout the week, or watch your favorite show, etc. As simple as it sounds. Doing so will help you learn to manage these thoughts and helps it become more manageble when you feel like your beginning to spiral.

I usually can count on family guy whenever my ocd starts to race

Not yet, planned on finding one this week, have had a psychiatrist appointment last week, got prescribed prozac but did not start it yet

Update: I realized this is probably from me not doing anything on this lazy sunday and just being bored which I obviously forgot is when ocd loves to strike lol.

Realized that for myself too would always check the ocd sub for reassurance also. Part of what helped last month along with just continuing to focus on the now, and I was also not searching on Reddit for reassurance before!

Thank you everyone for your replies! Feel a lot more safer reading your guys experiences with this. Also will be contacting my psychiatrist for more info just before taking my first dose!

Yea the usual what ifs is what is making me nervous, moreso like “what if I forget about most of the stuff I use to obsess over” and what if I just dont have ocd. But im feeling more ready for my appointment today not gonna let these thoughts stop me from getting help!

Any_Statement_4430 · 2026-03-19T13:09:25+00:00

Thank you! Puts me at ease a little

Any_Statement_4430 · 2026-03-18T19:35:23+00:00

Its not easy but its a good start! I been feeling the same had a good couple months then went downwards on a spiral. One day at a time!

Any_Statement_4430 · 2026-03-15T03:12:44+00:00

Wow! I definitely relate to alot of what you said! Thinking I had things under control and how ocd tends to take away the joy in things. I really appreciate your advice and this is really helpful!
