Bad at following OCD's rules? Good news. 🧠

You don't have to wait until the anxiety goes away.

You don't need to feel ready.

You don't need everything to feel "right" first.

You don't even need to feel brave.

Here's the important part:

Recovery is a numbers game.

The right exposure, done consistently, day after day?

Your brain is going to rewire regardless.

Not because you fought OCD hard enough.

Because you stopped obeying it.

Recovery isn't about being fearless.

It's about doing it afraid.

Your job isn't to eliminate anxiety.
Your job is to show up and ignore OCD's directions.

Start doing the thing OCD told you to avoid, more often. 🔥

Your brain will do the rest.

Some days OCD just turns the volume all the way up.

It's not a bad day if you feel like you're failing.

We want to learn from experiences and see how we can improve the next time.

We don't need to remove anxiety.

Water on your face, or doing a chore is just to remind you that you're here in this moment.

What I don't want people doing is say. "oh no... I feel anxious, where's the water?"

Intrusive thoughts love to be around when someone is sitting around.

Get back to living life.

OCD is loud for a reason.
It knows if it can get you to act fast, you won't stop to question it.

That's the whole game. Create urgency. Demand certainty. Make you feel like doing the compulsion is the only reasonable option.

ERP teaches you to recognize the pitch. (it's typically the same trick over and over again)

Not to ignore the thought. Not to fight it. Just to see it for what it is — a bluff.

Swipe through.

See if you can start to hear the difference.

What things does your OCD tell you?

This might be the most important post I've ever done.

14-17 years.

That's not a typo.

That's the average time between someone's first OCD symptom and getting treatment that actually works.

And most of that time isn't spent waiting around.

It's spent suffering. Misdiagnosed. Dismissed. Or not even knowing what's wrong.

Swipe through this and tell me if any of it sounds familiar.

Because OCD is very treatable.

65-80% of people who do ERP get real relief.

Most of the suffering happens before the work even starts.

You don't have to wait 14 years.

3 Things to Do When a Spike Hits 🌊

A spike is that sudden rush of urgency to fix it now.

Your heart races. Your chest tightens. Your brain screams "you have to answer this."

Save this for the next time OCD grabs the wheel.

01. Pause and ask.
Before you act, ask yourself one question. It slows the autopilot just enough to choose.
"Is this something I feel like I have to do, or something I want to do?"

02. Don't argue.
Engaging the thought is the compulsion. Don't analyze, solve, or try to prove it wrong.

Skip: replaying the moment, checking how you feel, searching for proof, building a counter-argument.

03. Return to life.
Keep doing what you were doing. You don't have to feel calm first. Let the anxiety come along for the ride.

Action first. Feelings follow.

Skip the urge traps.

Don't google it. Don't ask for reassurance. Don't review it in your head. Don't try to feel 100% sure.

Each one feels like relief and quietly teaches your brain the spike was real.

Remember: a spike is not an emergency. It's just a wave. Let it roll through.

I know, I know... much easier said than done. But the main thing to learn is that when real danger is near, it's pretty darn obvious and if it's not, we choose to stay with uncertainty.

A compulsion is anything you do to make the anxiety go away.

It can be physical or mental. Visible or invisible. If it's aimed at relief, it counts.

The trap? Relief lasts minutes. Then the urge comes back stronger.

Not all compulsions are visible.

Mental reviewing, reassurance-seeking, googling symptoms, avoidance, checking how you feel, arguing with the thought.

So what do you do instead?

Nothing.

Let the anxiety be there. Don't check, argue, or solve. Just keep moving.

When people hear this they may automatically think it's going to be like this forever.

No... it's just for now. We're retraining the brain to not respond to "false threats"

But it takes practice and constancy.

When the thought shows up, you can say "maybe, maybe not" and keep doing what you were doing.

The urge will be there. The anxiety will be there. And you're going to live your life anyway.

Don't stop what you're doing to deal with it. That's the compulsion.

Instead of asking "is it true?" ask yourself: "Can I let this be here without answering?"

Then go make lunch. Text your friend. Walk the dog. Whatever you were about to do before OCD showed up.

You're not trying to make the feeling go away. You're living your life while it's there.

Exposures are a great alternative to really punch OCD in the gut.

Because it's urging you to do a compulsion, you're actually going to move closer to the threat.

It's not easy, but it's worth it.

HOLD UP! This post is tricky to write because I want to give you good info about intrusive thoughts without accidentally giving reassurance.

If you catch yourself re-reading this to feel "safe" from a thought, that's a compulsion, not education.

Notice it, close the app, and go back to what you were doing.

Everyone has weird, random thoughts pop into their head.

What makes OCD different isn't the thought itself - it's how stuck your brain gets trying to figure it out.

Intrusive thoughts are universal.

Just let your brain do it's thing.

Chasing certainty is the compulsion.

The relief from answering will only make the question come back louder.

The goal isn't to feel sure.

It's to keep living your life while the thought is still there - without checking, analyzing, or arguing with it.

Live WITH the uncertainty, not AFTER you've figured it out.

One of the things I talk about in the book is finding your "why" for recovery.

Not a vague "I want to feel better" — but a real, concrete reason. Something OCD has stolen from you that you want back.

VICE writer Sammi Caramela picked up an early copy and this concept was the one that stuck with her 🙌

Anxiety and depression get worse when we overthink. Learn to catch yourself in the act. Write down those patterns to interrupt them before they take over. You can acknowledge thoughts without letting them control you.

04/14/2026

You don't have to believe a thought to accept it. Real acceptance means letting it be there without fighting or trying to feel better. Acknowledge the uncertainty and move forward.
