I have terrible OCD for past 10 years I can’t rid of myself from false OCD thoughts that circles around my head 24 hours it recently got more frightening when I accidentally broke my father’s phone I do not want to break my father’s or anyone in my entire life but it happened now after breaking my dads smartphone I feared for past 7 months that my father will going to break my phone beacause what I did to her phone even tho he forgives me for what I did to her phones and I sorry him that in my entire I will not going to do this kind of mistake but even my dad assured me that he had no gruduge over me but my mind tells me false thought that he are going to break yours smartphone one day I’m so depressed about this thought im helpless and due to this I can’t study for past 7 months.

I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering from intrusive thoughts but well done for asking for help. One important thing to know about intrusive thoughts is they get worse the more you pay them attention. So when you spend hours replaying the bad memory or asking your dad for reassurance the thoughts will become stronger. The treatment for intrusive thoughts (CBT) is to gradually learn to leave the thoughts alone. Does that make sense?
