What are yalls thoughts on mindfulness for ocd?

So I’ve had a few therapists suggest mindfulness, but have always had a hard time with this. Not that i think it’s a bad idea (plus i know I’m hard on myself for not enjoying the moment or being present/having too much screen time, yada yada), but god it is such torture to just sit with my thoughts with no distraction. Lately I’ve been trying to microdose mindfulness (lol) to try and keep the stakes/expectations low — like watching my dog and just noticing all her movements and sounds, or breathing and just listening to the breath and the sounds around me. It’s nice, but damn i cannot maintain it for long. It’s so so hard to not get sidetracked by my thoughts, and then corrections to/reassurance for my thoughts.

Do yall have any thoughts or experiences on mindfulness for ocd symptoms? I want nothing more than to be out of my head, and i definitely feel guilt for not being more mindful… let me know if yall have found success with any kind of mindfulness or meditation, and how it works for you. Or maybe there’s some secret third option besides constant distraction and mindfulness, idk. <3
