i feel like this is a never ending cycle. my thoughts are starting to scare me even more. does anyone else’s thoughts try to give them ideas or in a way your mind is trying to convince you of literally everything to act on your thoughts??

Yes that happens to me to and it's like I shake the thought away and say to myself "No, I wouldn't that, we can't do that, that's wrong". That doesn't really help cuz it doesn't help the thought(s) go away, just makes me focus on them more and then before I know it, its the only thing occupying my mind

@ekppppp I get those too and when it gets to that point I try to find something to distract me. Usually I can binge watch a reallt long tv show and I'll be so fixated on that, the thoughts kinda quiet down

@picklemorty yes it’s very manipulating and seems very real even sometimes compulsions don’t work, so you just have to sit with the uncertainty and creates a lot of discomfort
