It’ll all happen and it’ll continue on that particular way. Things will occur, this and that, and you will deal with it as best you can. That all that you can actually do. For an OCD sufferer that’s gonna feel extremely precarious, seriously… as if just something isn’t right. Funny that, in a perverse way, seeing as you are also chasing the OCD imbalance owing to the fact you definitely feel something is wrong, too. So… the OCD brain, let’s call it, ‘cos it does need a certain label for the sufferer to be able to actually get to understand and acknowledge what’s going on in their brain, is imbalanced in the same places, it seems, as a person’s most utilised parts of the brain are. So… for the sufferers to manage at shovelling these… illogical, nonstop, compulsory, miscalculated thoughts away they have to.. sit with the imbalance. However hard or even impossible and wrong this will indeed feel. They have to trust the same brain which is also firing back false anxiety and information overload their way. Their isn’t two of you – not in any manner – so let’s get that straight too. It’s just an imbalanced brain in very, very tricky areas for the sufferer to deal with and live with, and thrive with, even. To eventually settle on… what we can only perceive to be normal, run- of-the mill thoughts. That’s so, so difficult. So… “yes, this is the right way to go. I’m feeling much more like myself, not caught in an almighty bind of panic, etc. etc. etc.” But this will all feel like you are attempting to do something with such a level of trust-in-yourself mental focus akin to trying to thread the eye of a needle time and again… with a blindfold on, in terms of keeping your mind at bay and away from automatic-by-now years of habitual and, therefore, locked-in rumination to try and ease the anguish to nothing but, perhaps, a murmur. A murmur might just be the best we get, I can’t say otherwise yet. Difficult but also absolutely the right way to go. The only way to go. You are trusting a brain that cannot really be all that trusted. That’s…. Wow. That’s… OCD 🤷
