I recently was playing this game (RE9) and immediately thought of how this relates to how we can respond to OCD.

Can you imagine saying this or something similar to your OCD?

It defuses the situation pretty quick.

It completely undermines the threat and let's OCD know how much you really don't care.

Try it next time OCD throws out a "threat".

Some like: "cool thought bro" "love it" "I hope so"

Are their phrases you like to use with your OCD?

Does your OCD ever make you feel like yours is different and therefore will never get better?

It's a liar! 💜

So many people think OCD means having a super clean space. But nope! Turns out, you can have OCD and a messy room, and still be dealing with it. Crazy, right? There are tons of different types, so it's not always what you'd expect.

Why does Googling NEVER make it better???

You go in looking for answers and come out more anxious than when you started.

Every. Single. Time.

And it's not just health stuff.

It's "do I have OCD?"

It's "is this thought normal?"

It's "what does it mean if I feel this way?"

It's reading every single comment thread hoping someone says exactly what you need to hear.

And sometimes they do!

Relief for about 30 seconds.

Then the doubt creeps back and now you need to find one more thing that confirms it.

That's not research. That's a compulsion.

Google cannot give you the certainty OCD is promising you.

It just won't happen.

There will always be one more article, one more forum, one more… "but what if this one is different."

The only way out is to close the tab and sit with not knowing.

Does it feel awful? Yes.

Does it get easier every time you do it? Also yes.

Your brain isn't broken. It's just stuck in a loop. And you can get out of it. 💙

Drop a comment if you've lost hours to the Google spiral.

So, you're doing exposure therapy for OCD, right? Your brain's probably screaming, 'Prove it's not real!' But that just keeps OCD going. We're not trying to prove anything. If you do the exposure and nothing bad happens, that's awesome! Just don't turn it into a compulsion to prove yourself right. Chill, not everything needs proof.

When anxiety hits, don't bail! Staying with it teaches your brain habituation. It's about changing your relationship with anxiety, not just waiting for it to disappear. Accept the thoughts, and let the anxiety drop naturally.

Instead of seeking absolute certainty, try embracing the 'maybe.' Practice uncertainty by touching doorknobs or holding a knife, without reassurance or escape plans. Trust that things will work out, even if you're unsure. Anxiety is often a false signal; don't let it dictate your actions. You don't need to stop when you feel better; keep going, stay with the feeling, and then return to your life. True progress comes from facing discomfort, not from eliminating it.

Thinking the goal of treatment is to eliminate anxiety? You might be accidentally training your brain to seek quick relief. True progress comes from staying with discomfort until it naturally subsides (habituation), teaching your brain that it can manage anxiety, not just escape it.

03/15/2026

Many think they're doing exposure therapy, but safety behaviors create a 'safety net.' This means your brain never truly learns to face fears. Recognizing and eliminating these subtle compulsions is key to successful ERP.

OCD thrives on doubt, making us question the most fundamental things, like 'Does God love me?' or 'Did I take my pills?' The tricky part is, OCD latches onto these uncertainties, even when we have confirmation. The only honest answer it can offer is 'I don't know,' fueling the cycle.

03/09/2026

Feeling anxious? Make a commitment to stop figuring everything out. When anxious thoughts arise, remind yourself: 'That's not my thing.' Focus on work, your dog, or what truly matters. This simple shift prevents you from getting stuck in worry.
