I suggest you know what you’re talking about before giving advice. “We’re wired differently but take time to get better” you don’t get better if you’re wired differently. Wake up to yourself. It’s either a physical disorder in the brain which is absolute and unfixable, or it’s not. You aren’t better yourself and you’re trying to give advice. If you still have intrusive thoughts, you still haven’t learn to accept thoughts - there is no such thing as intrusive thoughts
Hi thanks for your comment, mental health professionals still don’t fully understand the physical causes of OCD. I do personally believe we are biologically different in the way information gets processed within the brain. We hold certain meta cognitive beliefs in OCD about the meaning & importance of our thoughts that need to be controlled to prevent certain dreaded outcomes. This can be changed & that’s how we get better. In all respect everyone gets intrusive unwanted thoughts however it’s the way we respond to them that is different with OCD sufferers. I now accept & acknowledge all my thoughts with compassion for myself, healing from this disorder is not the absence of intrusive thoughts but how we handle them. I respect your opinion but dealing with OCD on & off for 40 years of my life to now coming to a place of recovery where this disorder doesn’t control me anymore allows me to share my experiences. I wish you all the best, Kirsty. 😊
