The OCD Cycle🔄

1. Intrusive thought (obsession)�An unwanted, often disturbing thought, image, or urge pops into your mind.

2. Fear / anxiety�Your brain treats the thought as important or dangerous, triggering anxiety, guilt, or dread.

3. Compulsion (mental or physical)�You do something to try to reduce the anxiety or “fix” the thought.
�This could be:
* Checking
* Reassurance seeking
* Repeating phrases in your head
* Avoiding certain situations
* Trying to “figure it out”

4. Temporary relief → then back again�The compulsion lowers anxiety briefly… but it teaches your brain that the thought was dangerous, so the cycle restarts.

Some days I think about busting out the stroller… even though she loves the baby carrier. But we don’t let intrusive thoughts win around here—so we baby wear on.

Intrusive thoughts come in all shapes and sizes—some silly, some scary, some very DARK. I’ve always struggled with intrusive thoughts but I’ve learned to be able to shrug them off no matter how terrifying they are.
