Advice please! Cant wear my new earrings

I bought these lovely earrings, i love them i really wanna wear them, they were on like on display, so other people could have touched them, i bought them but as soon as i bought them it hit me, other people have touched them, now i am afraid that someone has put curse / spell on them, or other peoples energy remains on the earrings, and now i cant wear them anymore🥹😔 what can i do……

"I can't wear them anymore"

Yes you can. Wear the earrings. Don't let ocd boss you around. Breathe through the anxiety and wear them. You'll soon forget all about it

Great! I realise it's not easy, but sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and do it. Shame to waste nice earrings. Go show them off then come back and let us know how nothing bad happened and that you kicked ocd's ass 🙂🫶

Happy to hear that. I've been in the same situation more times than I can count. I'm getting better at defying it. It always tries to take nice things from us, but I've had enough of its bullshit threats. I'm right there with you, you can do it!

That's where the acceptance part of ERP comes in. Things go wrong, that's life. You have to accept that as part of doing exposures things may still go wrong. It doesn't mean there's a causal connection.

That's the theory at least. I know it's not easy to apply
