OCD often fixates around two things: 1. What we value and care about the most. 2. Things that we can’t find absolute certainty around. Religious OCD / Scrupulosity is a common OCD “theme” that brings with it much distress, worry and doubt. From their prayer not feeling “right”, to worries about offending G0d, to wondering if they are sīnning, to having an intrusive thought during prayer or worship…the fear and discomfort can be high! Of course, having faith and praying for protection and support does not mean you have OCD. However, if you notice your prayers are becoming obsessive loops, or you’re feeling like you MUST pray in an exact way or else something bad will happen and you’re responsible, this may be a sign your OCD rather than your faith is running the show at the moment. #ocd #ocdproblems #ocdbelike #realocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder

2 important things to keep in mind: 1. ALL OCD “themes” can bring up feelings of shame - not just the ones listed above. These carry a lot of shame due to their taboo nature and strong value - misalignment (like all intrusive thoughts, they’re egodystonic). Shame is one of the ways that OCD holds its power over us. 2. Your thoughts are meaningless! The thoughts you have or don’t have mean nothing about they type of person you are or what you value. Your OCD can certainly make it FEEL like these thoughts are significant, but that is a lie. You are not the content of your thoughts. Acceptance & commitment therapy and exposure response prevention therapy are highly effective when it comes to helping you break free from OCD. If you’ve ever felt this way … you are not alone in your thoughts and they don’t have to hold power over you forever! #ocdproblems #ocdawareness #pocd #rocd #moralocd #erptherapy

Is this you? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Relationship anxiety and/or ROCD involves a preoccupation around their “rightness” of your partner or relationship. You may find yourself spending more time analyzing your relationship than actually ENJOYING it - even if you have a loving, healthy, and wonderful partner. Remember that all feelings experience ebbs and flows. No one feels in love / infatuated with their partner 100% of the time, and no one has 100% certainty as to the rightness of their relationship. Accepting this can help you to take your power back from your anxiety and allow your to spend more time being present relationship ❤️ #relationshipanxiety #rocd #ocdawareness #relationshipsupport #anxietysupport

Is there a time or day that your anxiety is the loudest? Bedtime can be a difficult time for many with anxiety / OCD. You may find yourself exhausted all day, you can hardly wait until it’s time to go to sleep, and then BOOM. Anxiety, dread, rumination and panic sets in. Lack of restful sleep can intensify anxiety and anxiety can intensify insomina 🌀 Working to shift your relationship with fear and uncetainty can help you during both the daytime and nighttime!
