The scary thoughts used to run my day, too.

I’m Jenna, OCD and anxiety therapist, and someone who knows firsthand that your brain is doing the absolute most for absolutely no reason. You’re in the right place.

Comment or DM me “30” and I’ll send you a link to a video where I break this down step by step, all things you can work on so you know what to do in those 30 seconds instead of white knuckling it.

OCD can create so many tiny rules for how you need to move through your day.
Do this first.
Check that.
Say this correctly.
Make sure it feels right.

Then you can move on.

Recovery can look like noticing those rules and practicing not automatically obeying them.

You don’t need OCD making every tiny decision for you.

Let it feel unfinished.
Let yourself be unsure.

It’s time to live your life, depsite how loud OCD gets

This is the tricky part: kids ARE weird.

They have rituals. They have favorite things. They ask repetitive questions, believe strange things and go through phases.

Not every quirky childhood behavior is OCD.

The thing I’d be much more interested in is what was driving it.

Was there distress if you couldn’t do it? Did you feel responsible for preventing something bad? Did you repeatedly need reassurance? Were you trying to neutralise a thought or feeling? Did things need to feel “just right” before you could move on? Were these rules starting to interfere with your life?

Because two children can perform the exact same behavior for completely different reasons.

One kid avoids cracks because it’s a game. Another avoids cracks because they think, If I step on that crack, something might happen to Mom.

Very different experience.

Because sometimes the kid who gets labelled quirky, sensitive or dramatic might actually be dealing with a brain that has given them an enormous amount of responsibility for keeping themselves and everyone they love safe.

And they might have no idea that everybody else’s brain isn’t making them do this s**t too.

I certainly didn’t. I just knew I needed to do things in threes.

OCD education is part of su***de prevention.

And I need people to understand why.

Imagine having horrific intrusive thoughts about hurting someone you love and having absolutely no idea that intrusive thoughts can be part of OCD.

Imagine believing those thoughts must mean something about you, and being too ashamed to tell anyone.

Imagine spending years secretly checking, confessing, avoiding, Googling and trying to prove to yourself that you’re not the person your brain says you might be.

Now imagine somebody tells you:

This has a name. You’re not the only person experiencing this. And there is treatment for it.

That information matters.

OCD can look like violent intrusive thoughts. Sexual intrusive thoughts. Religious fears. Terrifying doubts about your identity, your morality, your relationship or whether you could lose control.

And when people don’t know that - they can interpret symptoms as evidence that they’re dangerous, disgusting, broken or completely alone.

That’s why I care so much about talking openly about the parts of OCD people are terrified to say out loud.

Sometimes, education is the thing that helps somebody realize:

Maybe I can tell someone what’s happening inside my head. Maybe I can ask for help.

OCD education is:

-Reducing shame
-Recognizing symptoms earlier.
- Helping families understand what they’re seeing.
-Helping people find appropriate treatment.

And during Su***de Prevention Month, I think that’s worth saying LOUDLY:

OCD education is part of su***de prevention.

Talk about the weird stuff, the scary thoughts, the symptoms people hide.

Because somebody out there might finally recognize themselves - and realize it’s time to reach out for help.

Side note: I pulled this old video out for this post and wasn’t prepared to see my sweet Asic pop up in it. Miss you every day buddy

I don’t want your OCD recovery to depend on successfully identifying every scary thought as “just OCD.”

I want you to become better at recognizing the pattern that happens next.

Something happens. -> Your brain detects uncertainty. -> You feel discomfort. -> Check. -> Google. -> Review. -> Ask. -> Confess. -> Analyze. -> Repeat.

That’s your opportunity to ask

“What does this situation reasonably require from me - and where does my attempt to get certainty begin?”

Try to notice when OCD starts asking you to solve the possibility behind the possibility behind the possibility.

Recovery is learning that you don’t need to resolve every last “but what if…” before you’re allowed to go live your life.

Your brain really was like DROP EVERYTHING THIS IS A FIVE ALARM SITUATION and it was actually just… a thought. A p**f of a thought. Wires getting crossed. A false alarm. An overly sensitive system. Just brain spam. Your brain being a brain.

The same brain that hands you the scariest thoughts is also the one capable of the most love, the most creativity, and the most loyalty of anyone in the room. Please do not let OCD and anxiety be the whole story.

I’m Jenna, licensed therapist, been working with people who have OCD/anxiety since 2008, and someone who gets this from the inside out. I’ve worked with some of the most complex cases out there (+ I’ve been there myself) and I’m here to tell you that you are so much more than your loudest thoughts.
