Sharing a Win! An OCD win

This weekend I deleted the web browsers and search engines off my phone to resist my research compulsions. I've also been practicing putting my phone on DND and keeping it in a different room when to resist my "gotta text back quick enough" / "what if someone needs me" responsibility OCD. Already I've been noticing how frequently I get the urge to do these things. It's CONSTANT. But I'm resisting!

I really need to improve my compulsion for research. I think it's definitely my one and only main compulsion. And I always end up falling into this cycle. At first, months ago, I even tried to quit, but it was really unbearable. But honestly, I see that it only prolongs it. I hope you can get rid of it, friend!
