YOToday, you can stand up to OCD. And remember, these aren’t to be used to suppress obsessions.
Use them to let OCD know that you are not going to engage in its content.
15 Non-Engagement Responses for OCD (save these so you don't forget them!)
“That’s an OCD thought. I don’t need to figure it out.”
“I notice I’m having the urge to analyze. I’m going to let it be there and get on with my day.”
“You are so creative today, OCD!”
“This feels urgent, but it’s OCD’s urgency, not mine. I can leave this question unanswered.”
“WOW, OCD! You are on a roll today with all the drama!”
“I do not need to solve this one right now.”
“I’m willing to feel uncertain. I’ll let the thought float by.”
“Good one, Bro!”
“I can observe this thought and get back to what matters.”
“Not answering this thought is my response.”
“Not today, brain!”
“This is uncomfortable, and I can tolerate discomfort.”
“I’m practicing letting go of the need to know for sure.”
“I’ve decided not to answer OCD’s questions, even if my anxiety says I must.”
“Thank you, brain, but I’m not taking that bait today.”
“Here is OCD, again, always bringing the drama!”
