Here is my story of getting over sensorimotor OCD that you may find helpful. It could also apply to other forms of #OCD.

@elliotpsych Such a great article on such a challenging issue!

When it comes to anxiety even the best strategies…

Exposure
Mindfulness
Acceptance
Diaphragmatic breathing
Exercise
Etc.

…will often backfire when they are fueled by a struggle to banish anxiety completely.

Check out my "25 Tips For Succeeding In Your Behavior Therapy" on the IOCDF website: https://t.co/kN9gQ0QcY6 It can give you a set of guidelines that will help you through treatment or give you something to refer to if you are doing self-help.

[Dr. Eric Goodman @DrEricGoodman]

Anxiety is designed to take over when it thinks you are under threat—making you react without thinking. If a bear is chasing you, you can’t stop and smell the roses—it makes you run. You don’t get a vote. Often doesn’t serve us well in modern daily life.

.@nypost We’re issuing this response today in regard to your recent article on OCD.

It is factually fraught, harmful, and not based in proven science. As a result, we would like to see it taken down.

In short: Do Better.

“OCD is a serious condition,” not a cute quirk or a preference. Thank you Dr. @lynne_drummond ! #ocdawareness #Mentalhealth #SuicidePrevention

[BBC Morning Live @BBCMorningLive]

"OCD is a devastating condition that affects all areas of your life".

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most widely misunderstood mental health conditions. Leading expert Dr @Lynne_Drummond explains how in the worst cases it can lead to people losing their lives.

[Dr. Michelle Witkin @MichelleWitkin2]

I took this quiz by NOCD to test my knowledge of OCD, and you can too — check it out! Actually, it was pretty cool. https://t.co/0h3AOsWU9I #KnowOCD #OCD #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
