I have been struggling with OCD a lot lately, mostly obsessive thoughts and they are in the irrational fear of getting in trouble and I'm doing an IOP program for it. It's helping develop coping skills but when the thoughts come I feel like they have so much power over me. Mine comes off in confessing and it's so obvious when it's happening that I'm afraid that I only get a few days without thoughts and then it just comes on again. It's hard to deal with the intrusive thoughts and especially when it tries to trick you into thinking you did something when you didn't and I'm just wondering if anybody else deals with this type.
