Just let the thoughts be??

[marcelostewartParticipant]

Is this is common in ocd: trying to simply let the thoughts be till they fade away? And to try not to do any compulsions in order to make yourself feel better? Everyone tells me “You will be fine. Stop worrying about Ocd.” But I can’t bring myself to believe them…
