Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing on here. I’ve definitely struggled with this. It felt like my mind was consumed with how others would view me if they knew what was going on in my head. It felt like I was always lying to others or keeping a big secret, even though it’s not their business to know what’s going on in my head. Maybe try sitting with some uncertainty statements such as, “They may or may not see me as…if they knew what was going on in my head.” I know that your OCD feels strong and overpowering right now, but it won’t always be like this. It takes a lot of hard work, but you can definitely show OCD that you are the boss!

Sounds like you're looking for reassurances, which only make the OCD worse. You might want to practice writing scripts.

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Saying intrusive thoughts out load
Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
