Most people with OCD don’t struggle because they have more thoughts than everyone else — they struggle because certain thoughts feel so real and imminent. A random intrusive thought can suddenly feel dangerous, revealing, or morally important, which creates the overwhelming urge to analyze it, disprove it, cancel it out, or figure out what it “says” about you. Meanwhile, neutral or positive thoughts pass by without any attention whatsoever. Funny how that works, huh?
Kali has experienced this dichotomy throughout her life. In this video, she explains why OCD latches onto certain thoughts, why fighting them often makes them louder, and how ERP has helped her give those thoughts less power over time.
