What advice would you give people suffering with OCD?

I would love to hear what general advice you would give someone who is suffering with OCD who may be too scared to ask for help or know where to start.

I would tell them two things I learned - Don't look for answers. Google and Reddit will only feed your OCD. You will search for answers and it will be a cycle.

Also tell yourself "It is what it is" meaning you cant control everything and that it is hard. But if you remind yourself that sometimes you gotta just let it be and sit with the discomfort it makes the next time easier. I nap off the anxiety sometimes.
