Postpartum OCD

So yesterday I was just chilling on my bed and then I realized that I didn’t think about the thoughts for a while, (I don’t know why I do this) I then start to make myself think of the intrusive thought by myself, and then my mind kept telling me that it was me that was bringing up and these intrusive thoughts, even though it was my mind. My mind is now telling me that “oh you want a this” even though I never wanted it before, and I am scared, and I have no idea what to do.

Distressed And Scared Of Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts

My brain goes "if you're not thinking about it you'll just become it, but if you are thinking about it you want it, and if you try to stop it you're in denial" and so on and so forth. There really is no way to win except saying maybe maybe not

@Angel_Marin16 I've also reached a point where I'm not crippled with anxiety by these thoughts and constant rumination so my brain tries to use that against me
