I was having an OCD compulsion and was gonna break out the tarot deck when my cat came up and got on my lap so I can't get up.Good kitty.
>>38388476Trying to be Christian? Many such cases. Just throw it away.
>>38388493No, just trying to fight the OCD. Irs like a demon. "Oh you're anxious? If you do X you'll be less anxious." but it's not true. It alway lies. The relief you feel is like a temporary hit from a drug and every time you give in it feeds it more.
>>38388507It is like a demon. You should throw those cards away. Trust me. I have the exact same problem.
>>38388514Even if I do, I could use online tarot card generators. I understand removing temptation, but I need to build resilience, too. I need to build up the strength to say no, and kitty is helping.
>>38388529Building up strength is good in theory, but I would say the first step to resisting temptation is avoiding it.
>>38388529Do whatever works for you. You can do it, anon.
>>38388539Correct. It's just hard with the OCD-demon because it will attach itself to something else and you can't throw away everything.Even tonight it's only acting up because I have been under stress and today's the first day I haven't had correspondence with the stress source. It's like it's looking for problems.When I was younger I thought the "voice" was psychic powers, but I know now even when it's correct, it's wrong about how to handle problems.
>>38388557Interesting, you've clearly taken the time to know yourself in the context of this struggle.Good luck, there is no version of this world where victory is impossible.
>>38388615Thank you anon and other poster.I'm gonna give cat a treat and get some sleep.
I fucking love tarot readers. I don't get anxiety if I can't get a reading but I do get frustrated because I find them to be so useful.
