Dealing with something mentally that you don’t understand or can’t identify can be extremely frustrating. It is common to have thoughts like, “why doesn’t anyone else seem to be struggling with this” or “I wish I knew how to help myself.” I experienced thoughts like these before I learned about scrupulosity. As I was working through my own experience with mild scrupulosity, I practiced multiple components of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which made my thoughts much more productive and manageable.
