A member asked:

Can you please tell me about some great way to get your mind off of irrational fears triggered by ocd?

Distraction Helps: But bringing them on can also b worth trying - as if u're a kid & your sibling is trying 2 scare u w/ stories of zombies in ur house. U might decide 2 b brave & tell him/her 2 keep talking... That s/he's just uttering words & this doesn't mean that there are actually zombies in house. It might feel frightening 2 stand up 2 ur sib like this. But keep listening & the stories just may end up boring u!
