i had ocd as a kid and it gradually went away sounds crazy but it was intense and unmistakable part of how i got over it was learning to accept bad thoughts and just allowing them to exist in my head you think you are going to rape an old woman okay you think you are going to shoot up a school sure you think you are going to die if you don’t tap your foot four times 8 times over okay accept it all don’t fight it it could happen it probably won’t but it could and there’s nothing you can ever do to change that
