I feel like I need a high five. Today, out of nowhere, I was utterly overwhelmed with 'Pure O' intrusive thoughts. Spent 4 or 5 hours fighting them off while going about my day but deep down I felt hopeless. Finally, tho, I was able to regain control without compulsions. #OCD

@AutumnHasOCD I’m glad you were able to move about your day. My therapist says I should treat them like someone on the bus. Acknowledge they’re there. Don’t fight them off. But try not to focus on them. Like you treat a tantruming toddler.
@AutumnHasOCD #respect This is a clear win, and kudos to you.
