I'm glad you had a productive day and got that bottle of wine
for your friend's wife. It's amazing how things that seem trivial
to non-OCDers can be big accomplishments for us. I can totally relate
to your many thoughts/what ifs while you were doing your errand. You're
right, OCD is a liar and telling yourself the truth is really beneficial.
This morning when I was walking to work, I was silently talking to God.
I asked him to work his will in my life and help me beat the number thing.
Shortly after that I had the thought that OCD is a liar and that six can't
hurt me. It was one of those moments of insight or flashes of reality that
really was crystal clear. God is awesome. Then of course I try to recreate
that moment by re-thinking the same thought but that doesn't work! So I
stopped ruminating about it and just went on with my day. I've felt pretty
positive about things lately.
Thanks for your prayers and support.
God bless,
Beth
P.S. I'm happy for you that the drum playing in the house issue was resolved.
Glory to God.
