When i did therapy, i had to write my thoughts on a paper like this: "My mind gives me the following thoughts: 1. That i will harm my loved ones 2. That i will loose control, and i will go insane, and put in a hospital 3. That i will have kids and harm them. 4.... 5.... 6... Maybe this will happen or not, i choose to live with this uncertanty." I was reading this 1-2 hours daily, after 1-2 weeks, i got so tired of these thoughts that when they appeared in my mind, i was getting very bored.

Hey! I think a good exercise will be to write all your thoughts on a sheet, and read them over and over and over, till you get rid of them. The brain will get bored, and when you will think again at it, the brain will not be triggered again. Its similar to when you listen a weird nice song that stays in your mind. But if you listen it many times, you dont get trigged anymore.

When i say you have to read them over and over, you have to spend around 1-2 hours daily. I had harm ocd, and this helped me. When i had intrussive thoughts, my brain was so bored of them after reading so many times, that it was making me laugh :D

I also had some small notes, that i kept them into my wallet . The goal here was to make me anxiety spike, and after it was decreases over time. Notes like: "I dont understand the point of living, life makes no sense." Imagine how my anxiety spiked when i knew i had that in my wallet, and someone can see it. Some people were leaving those kind of notes in bars, restaurants, taxies. LOL , like i said, the goal is to initially increase the anxiety. It will loosen after some days/weeks OCD is funny, its like a silly kid is inside of your brain, and tries to play with you.

What are you willing to do to increase your anxiety? Can you set a wallpaper on your screen with this message? "Life makes no sense". This will trigger you? What triggers you the most?

Been obsessed with death
Of course we can’t stop the inevitable but with my ocd it’s all I can think about. I’m afraid I’ll be alone for ever and I’ll fear forever. Fear does not stop death it stops life. But how do I stop fear??? I can’t think of anything scarier than the fact that our conscious will vanish for eternity. I am only 20 years old but I mean the last 5 years flew by like nothing.

fear of death and ocd
so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.
