Hello! I wanted to mention a few tips and tricks that have helped me with my OCD and share them all with you!
When you have an intrusive thought try to do the following steps:
1. Name it, "this is just my OCD."
2. Acknowledge, “a thought is just a thought” (being present). Try finding: 5 things you see. 4 things feel. 3 things you hear. 2 things you smell. 1 thing you taste.
3. Breathe: This can be box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4 while imagining going around a box) or 4, 7, 8 (in for 4, hold for 7, and out for 8). Or any other breathing technique you know of.
4. Laugh: eventually you will be able to see the humor in your OCD. This doesn't come until later but it is helpful when you're in the thick of it and want to see some light in this process.
5. Practice !
