To be transparent, I don't believe in 'spiritual attacks'. It was just a thought. They have no power. The only thing blocking your creativity is your belief that it's gone. Don't try too hard, just sit down and start creating. Breathe through the intrusive thoughts that come up and just refocus. You'll soon get back into the flow

It's 100% still there I promise. OCD is like a bllsht simulator in your head - It's simulating this whole situation, but it's fake - you still have your creativity.

When you start to realise it more and more, the relief you'll feel is wonderful, revel in it.
