Once the whole is divided, the parts need names. There are already enough names.Tao Te Ching chapter 32

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text, the sage Laozi is traditionally credited for writing the Tao Te Ching. Taoism is based on the writings of Lao-tzu and is a very important philosophy and a religion in China.

Artwork inspired by a quote from the Tao Te Ching

Once the whole is divided the parts need names, we are one and when we became divided that's when we got labels. There are already enough names and labels one must know when to stop.

OCD will not win. OCD will not keep taking what we care about away from us. OCD will not continue to make our lives smaller.OCD will not win; I won't let it. I will keep trying my best every day, In this lifelong journey with OCD. I can still live a beautiful, fulfilling life even with the presence of OCD, and so can you. We won't let OCD win. We will keep supporting each other. We will keep advocating. We will keep doing the things that we're doing to take our life back from OCD.

OCD can show up as intrusive thoughts images, sensations and urges.

OCD can show up as physical symptoms racing heart, upset stomach, chills and headaches.

OCD can show up as trying to convince you that you could act on things you would never want to do and that you're a monster.

OCD can cause you to not trust the thoughts in your head. OCD can cause you to not trust or feel safe in your body. It can feel like who you are and who you want to be cannot connect because of intrusive thoughts and images, urges and sensations being the opposite of who you are, playing in your head on repeat.

OCD is a debilitating disorder but recovery is possible. ERP therapy is the gold standard treatment for OCD and can help you get your life and yourself back from OCD.

When OCD tries to overwhelm you with guilt Remember You are not a bad person for experiencing intrusive thoughts

Guilt is a common struggle for those with OCD and many times we feel guilty or believe we should be punished for the intrusive thoughts we experience. We do our " sentence " with the anxiety and rumination and hours of compulsions for our " crimes " aka intrusive thoughts , images , urges and sensations. You are not a bad person for having these experiences and do not need to be hard on yourself for having them .

One way that i've heard this explained that I found helpful is, to see OCD as the medical condition it is and see intrusive thoughts as a symptom of that condition and not as it being your fault or moral failing .You are not your thoughts. You are not alone. ERP therapy ,self-compassion and acceptance can be very helpful with guilt that accompanies OCD.
