I have faith in you

#Okay but can someone explain that to my ocd? #Breaking routines is so contradictory to taking care of myself that I can't even fathom it most of the time

..So I'm going to try to explain it because I want to help! Here it goes:

Breaking routines isn't the only way to practice self-care. The truth is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to it. It is often dependent on who you are and how you think. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this not working for you! In fact, a lot of routines are very healthy and not the type that should be broken! Here's what I believe the takeaway should be from this post:

There's nothing wrong with doing what works best for you! You and your struggles are unique and so your solution may have to be unique too! I can't speak for anyone with OCD and I'm not a licensed psychologist, but I'd say that stepping away from things that don't help your OCD in order to do things that *do* help your OCD is what my initial post is attempting to say.
