Trying to let it go

[propersoftParticipant]

I decided to start a journal and write down everything about my OCD. But this doesn’t seem to be helpful. My GP said to try to let it go rather than write all the thoughts down. Is it true that writing it down could become a compulsion too?

Yes, it can. Best to try to let it go.
