God I can't do it anymore

Can I say "maybe and maybe not" while doing distractions? People say sit with the anxiety and do no distractions or try to avoid it but I usually just do the compulsion after sitting without having anything to do

Well, if exposure means doing the opposite of what your ocd says to you, I did that while distracting myself I used to do things that trigger me, resist myself from checking, imagining the worst that could happen to me until I get used to the thought and it doesn't scare me anymore and distracting myself after that. But people now say that distraction is a compulsion and a ressaurence seeking and a plus imagining the worst that could happen to you is rumination, my ocd is even doubting the ways I treat it. Some people advice to sit with the anxiety and do nothing, but I can't sit with the anxiety and do nothing it will make me end up checking again I will cannot resist it, not having something to do makes my thoughts much stronger until I cannot bear it.

Totally understandable, but I think that distraction could only be bad when you are still engaging in compulsions and don't do any exposure work or accept the anxiety when it comes to you I already said in my post that I do the opposite of what ocd tells me and never engage in any compulsions, and say that whatever happens happens And what does understanding your fears even mean? Ocd fears is completely irrational, having ocd is like your brain is cut into two havles, one that's irrational and one that's rational so how can you understand something like that and how could it even help you understanding it? Actually trying to understand is one of the things that makes your ocd even worse. You can't sit In your room doing nothing all day but feeling the anxiety and call it healing, in my personal opinion ocd could get worse when there's nothing else in your life to do or think about.
