The only choice for those of us with OCD is whether to spend the life we have as a slave to OCD - or as a free, spontaneous person. See that your OCD can potentially connect you to a greater spirituality and provide a opening for self discovery. Know the difference between what you can do something about and what it is best to let go of. Surrender to the anxiety feeling. Feel it and it will get tired of bothering you.
Recovery is about trust.
Thoughts do not make reality and feelings aren't facts. Admitting powerlessness over OCD is the1st Step. Obsessions live in the future and the past. Validation and affirmation are needed and important. What works one time may not the next.
