I listened to a Ted talk recently about erp and every time we give into our compulsions or ocd we are “ feeding the monster” ( OCD) and the idea is to starve the monster. ( not doing compulsions) sometimes that analogy helps me.

Yes like I know to not keep opening back up my phone bc My brain will just think of the next thought. And it’s just you can not win with ocd unless you stay strong and accept those uncomfortable feelings.

Yeah sometimes I open up my phone and my brain will just produce this uncomfortable feeling like something isn’t just right or like the way I opened up my phone didn’t feel right or something

@lroinll5 YES exactly. Do you just ignore it or do you keep opening up your phone

@Calove No unfortunately I’ve been giving in and keep re opening my phone till it feels just right or like something isn’t wrong or whatever but I need to force myself to stop doing it and just open my phone up once and that’s it

@Calove And it sucks because I’ll open my phone and if I don’t do a compulsion sometimes it feels like the phone screens light or something has my eyes locked on it or something or idek how to describe it really but it’s annoying as heck

@lroinll5 Totally get that. Some of the thoughts are so hard to explain. it’s like you can’t even wrap your mind around it but you know it feels wrong

what do your intrusive thoughts feel like?
for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts

Scary thoughtsss
Is there something wrong with me if I’m not disgusted by my intrusive thoughts anymore like the disgust feeling has been gone for months now and why are my thoughts feel like they’re literally so close happening inside my brain why can I lowkey physically feel the images of that makes sense,Why do I get adrenaline why do I get a weird tingle my lips sometimes make an awkward like position when I get the thoughts it’s like I’m having a glitch idek which thought is intentional which one is intrusive but there bad thoughts and I don’t want them to be the truth about me but I literally cannot get myself to just feel relaxed even if they’re present like I actually get genuine headaches and feel uneasy for hours after having intrusive thoughts and I hate how it’s always the same kinda thoughts and sensations feelings etc around those thoughts out of nowhere when I’m just chilling they come in before when I had it is be like okay ew weird thought now I’m like what if I actually like this and I’m in denial uGHHH HATE MY BRAIN
