Intrusive thoughts aren’t only the classic “what if” thoughts (even though those absolutely count). Sometimes they show up as statements, flashes of an image, or a feeling that hits out of nowhere. And honestly, those can feel even more real and unsettling, which is why they’re so hard to ignore.

Just a reminder: the way an intrusive thought sounds in your mind doesn’t make it any more or less intrusive. They come in all shapes and forms, and they can be confusing or scary no matter how they show up. If this resonates with you, you’re definitely not alone.

If you’re struggling and want support, ERP therapy can help. Click the link in our bio to book a free call and learn more.

‼️HAPPY FRIDAY‼️ We made it through the week and since it’s been awhile, we thought you all deserve some OCD memes😎🫶

Do you ever feel like OCD pushes you into specific routines or patterns you have to follow? For a lot of people, that can look like doing things in sets of three, repeating steps, or feeling the urge to check something a certain number of times.

This scene from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shows a version of that. In the clip, Charlie’s mom does everything in threes because she believes it keeps him alive. And while Always Sunny is a comedy, it still captures something very real. Number-based rituals like this can be part of magical thinking OCD, where someone feels responsible for preventing something bad from happening or making something good happen by doing certain actions in a specific way.

These patterns can feel intense and take over everyday life. If magical thinking OCD is something you relate to, know that you are not alone and help is available. ERP therapy is the most clinically effective treatment for OCD and can help you break the cycle. Click the link in our bio to learn more.

Intrusive thoughts can look different for everyone. One of the most confusing parts of OCD is that a single person can have many intrusive thoughts that don’t seem connected at all. This is completely normal with OCD, and something that so many people quietly deal with.

Some intrusive thoughts can also feel especially scary or taboo. These might include fears about harming someone, fears about being a pe*****le, or worries about accidentally causing something terrible to happen. These thoughts do not define you. They are not reflections of what you want. OCD tends to latch onto the things you care about most, creating “what if” scenarios around your deepest values. For example, someone who deeply cares about their patients at work may be flooded with intrusive thoughts about what might happen if they accidentally hurt them. This does not mean that’s what they actually want to do.

If intrusive thoughts are taking over your day or feel overwhelming, know that there is help. ERP therapy, also known as exposure and response prevention, is the most clinically effective treatment for OCD and can help you learn to manage your symptoms.

Many people with OCD know their fears or compulsions might be “irrational,” but that doesn’t make living with them any easier. So when someone says, “That would never happen,” or “You know that’s not true,” it’s not always helpful because we already know that.

The hard part isn’t knowing; it’s learning how to sit with the fear without doing the thing that feels like it’ll make it go away.

Thankfully, OCD can be treated. ERP therapy (exposure and response prevention) is a scientifically proven treatment for OCD that can help you break the loop. Click the link in our bio to book a free call and learn more about how ERP can help you.

We wanted to share something a little different from our usual posts: a piece written by one of our community members, Katie.

Katie wrote a beautifully raw and real reflection about her journey with OCD that she shared in our online community, and it resonated with so many people. Thank you, Katie, for being honest about how difficult OCD was for you, and for sharing how ERP, while not easy, helped change your life.

This post is a powerful reminder of what community can do. Katie was able to recognize what she was experiencing because she read other people openly sharing their OCD experiences. If you ever wonder whether what you share, whether on Instagram or anywhere else, makes a difference: it does. Every comment, every like, every message has the ability to help someone realize they aren’t alone. Thank you for being part of this community.

And if you’re struggling right now or unsure of what to do next, we hope Katie’s story gives you hope. You can build a meaningful, fulfilling life with OCD in the backseat. And that possibility is real for you, too.🩵

We’re back with another misrepresentation of OCD in the media. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kris Jenner described herself as being “a little OCD” when it came to having parties, simply because she wanted things to happen according to her preferred timing and schedule.

Comments like this can make OCD sound like a personality quirk or something that’s just about being organized and having everything a certain way when you’re planning. But it’s so much more than that. OCD is a serious mental health condition, and when people like the Kardashians and Jenners use the term casually or incorrectly, even without bad intentions, it can cause more harm than good. This also isn’t the first time the term has been misused on their show. We really wish they would learn a little bit more about what it’s actually like for people!

When OCD gets minimized like this, it makes it harder for people who are struggling to recognize what they’re actually experiencing, and it can discourage them from getting the support they need.

OCD is one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions, and many people don’t realize how deeply it can affect everyday life. It’s not a personality trait or a preference for neatness. It’s anxiety driven and often attaches itself to the things that matter most to someone.

The more people understand what OCD is really like, the easier it becomes for those living with OCD to feel seen, supported, and taken seriously.

If you think you might be struggling with OCD, you’re not alone. There is help out there. ERP therapy is the most clinically effective treatment for OCD. To learn more or explore next steps, you can click the link in our bio.

Have you ever heard someone say that they wish they had OCD so that they’d be tidier or more organized? Unfortunately thinking that OCD = clean & tidy is still very prevalent, despite the fact that this is not true in most cases!

Even when someone DOES have OCD related to cleanliness, it’s never about just wanting everything to be neat and organized. It usually comes from terrifying intrusive thoughts about something bad happening if things aren’t “just right,” like someone getting sick, someone dying, or harm happening to the people they love. It’s fear driven… not preference driven.

OCD isn’t a personality quirk. It’s a disorder fueled by anxiety, doubt, and intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shake. If you’re struggling with this, just know you’re not alone… and support is available. ERP therapy is the most clinically effective treatment for OCD.

One of our favorite trends we’ve been seeing. What would you all add to your OCD betrayal list?

11/08/2025

Did you know that in addition to intrusive thoughts, OCD can also cause intrusive or false ‘urges’? These can feel incredibly confusing and scary, especially if we don’t know that we’re dealing with OCD, which is why accurate information about OCD symptoms can be so important and even life-saving.

Have you ever experienced false urges with your OCD?

How OCD shows up in the marketing field:

OCD doesn’t just show up in the places you expect. If you have OCD, you know it tends to attach itself to the areas of your life that matter the most, including your job.

For people who work in marketing/social media, this can look like constantly double checking posts, rereading emails over and over to make sure nothing came out wrong, spiraling about whether you said the wrong thing on a call, or fearing you’ll accidentally ruin everything with one tiny mistake.

If you notice OCD making your job feel 10x harder than it needs to be, you’re not alone and you deserve support that actually helps you live your life again.
