Help How do i fix bad thoughts with OCD

[nonliv]

How do I replace or stop connecting something bad to something I love when it comes to ocd? How do I stop associating something with another thing? As an example - A character that has black hair and is japanese, associating them with a real life criminal who tortured children sexualy who had black hair and is philipino. How do I brake this connection?

I do something similar but not OCD. Have you tried reminding yourself that these two are different things? Like "Awesome character, Oh. But they look like a person I don't like." *Breathe* "This person isn't them and vice versa, its okay." I hope this helps. Why do you think you started associating things with other things? do you generally associate with things that are seem to be bad?

Yes I do. My brain laches onto similarities and keeps trying to make me drop them. If something is important to me, it usually gets tarnished by ocd. I will try my best, tomorrow I have a therapy apointment and i will try my best to ask how to deal with this problem. Thank you for the response, I'm very grateful
