When I asked my followers what they wanted to hear me speak about on a podcast episode, they said "How to manage the everyday exhaustion of intrusive thoughts." And if you have OCD, you know that if you had to pick one adjective to describe living with the disorder, "exhausting" would be near the top of the list!

In this episode, we talk about what everyday life dealing with OCD intrusive thoughts can look like and how you can cope with exhaustion while expressing self-compassion. In addition, we'll talk about:

- What showing up everyday actually looks like

- The best tool for combatting a difficult day with intrusive thoughts

- How to approach thinking about your intrusive thoughts
