Hi Oshawoot here. A lot of the time I worry about things in my life and no matter how hard I try I can't stop worrying about them. I do have OCD. Do you have any idea how to deal with it? Thanks

I imagine that depends on the person, the severity, the type of OCD, and probably many other factors. Hopefully you're getting support. Generally speaking, all I know, so far, is distraction, ways to ground yourself, and things like CBT can apparently help you, or even "cure" you, depending on the severity and person. If you have OCD, then you should be getting support for it, in order to manage/deal with it.

CBT is great for this sort of thing because it teaches you how to debunk fears and deeply held (and harmful) beliefs, essentially, through a variety of techniques. I have taken it in the past for anxiety disorder and really found it helpful. The local mental health team is thinking of putting me through another course of CBT for anxiety and depression (I guess that's the closest thing they have to OCD-specific CBT, and besides I have depression too, among other things).
Talk to someone about it, get some professional help and support, and in the meantime if you can't rationalize with yourself ('this is the OCD talking', etc) just try to distract yourself when it gets really bad. That's all I can do sometimes.
