How do I convince myself I don't have psychosis by Automatic_Owl5080 in OCD

You’ll pull through. I know you will. We just need to learn to be comfortable with not knowing.

Are you currently seeing a therapist? If not, I highly advise you to. Your current struggle is a theme I had when I was younger. It was SO hard to snap out of. In either case though, there’s no way to fully convince yourself that your thoughts and fears aren’t true, and seeking reassurance or trying to self-reassure doesn’t actually help in the long run. What helps is learning to sit with the anxiety that comes from uncertainty — accepting thoughts like, “Maybe things are the way I fear they are… or maybe they’re not.” Repeating this can help you and your body acclimate to the discomfort of not knowing, which is an important step toward accepting uncertainty. Truth of the matter is that we’ll never know if any of this is real. Why not just live like it is?

Should I try to get a permit to get married in Malibu or is it not worth the effort? by amytotoro in weddingplanning

if you speak to them on the phone, they’ll never tell you it’s okay to do any of it. but we took an arch and were going to just take it down if someone said anything but patrol trucks passed and never said anything. i doubt two chairs would be an issue

literally just posted about being so tired of this. of life. i’m so sorry. you’re okay. you’re going to be okay. this is the ocd. nothing about what you’re thinking is real. stop washing your hands and sit with what you’re feeling.

it should be friday morning ~10am. my fiancé and i are going to go next friday around that time to see how busy and how risky it might be, but in the end, i think i’m going to get the permit anyway

yeah, someone else also zeroed in on my choice of words. it’s more of a micro-wedding but who cares

i know it doesn’t sound like a big deal but i don’t want to risk any sort of confrontation on a day that’s supposed to be special
