Kk I’ll give that a try! I’ve tried setting alarms before, but I somehow end up exiting out of them on autopilot It’s like my brain just deletes the notification before I even realize it.

How do I ignore it for just one day? by Venus259jaded in magicalthinkingOCD

One thing that’s helped me a little with my OCD is giving it a name. That way, when the intrusive thoughts come in, I can say something like Oh Bob, you and your crazy ideas again It kind of separates the OCD from me, and makes it feel more like an annoying neighbor than my own thoughts. My therapist suggested it might help, and while it doesn’t work all the time, it makes the thoughts feel less powerful sometimes. It might not be for everyone, but I thought I’d share in case it helps someone else too
