So an interesting fact about OCD is it's actually called the silent sufferers disease because the way OCD works is it attacks your thought processes and it makes you think that you are not worthy or not able to get help. So for example if you one of your intrusive thoughts is you're gonna harm yourself or you're gonna harm your family like maybe you're worried I am gonna accidentally kill my family then of course your brain and your OCD is gonna say yeah and obviously you can't tell anybody about that because you're crazy. But you're not crazy, thoughts are just thoughts, thoughts are not facts, thoughts are just thoughts as my therapist has told me many times. And so this disorder is called the silent sufferers disease because so many people wait to seek help and seek treatment for it but it is something that you need to do if you have OCD just to help retrain yourself and retrain those thought processes so you can catch those triggers.

An interesting fact. It's not you, it's your OCD. That's as simple as that. I was trying to think of factoids that could help but I think the one thing that we need to remember is it's not you, it's your OCD. You suffer from OCD and as a result you see the world differently or your brain tries to prompt you to see the world differently in a way that is always looking for the negative. As long as you can hold a space for it in so far as you can see this, this is your OCD, thoughts and this is me having the experience, one hand and the other, you balance it out, then you know that you know the two are not interlinked. You are having an OCD thought, it's not you. You are somebody with OCD, it is not you personally. Separate the two out.
