(this was actually two months ago but OCD is making me pretty exhausted right now, so I made a meme to distract myself)

so….anyway, how the heck do I handle OCD?? I’ve had symptoms most of my life so I’m not new to that, but I’ve kind of just been trying (and really failing) to manage it on my own. I tend to struggle the most with moral OCD and relationship OCD (but mainly with friendships or people I look up to) and I ruminate a lot—I have no idea how to stop the rumination that comes with it. So what do I do? Trying to treat the intrusive thoughts as neutral instead of having the immediate "ahh, bad thought!!" reaction isn't really working, and my biggest compulsion right now is blinking really hard, which is unfortunately hard to hide and control.
