Like, that little voice in your head, I understand that for everybody it’s a little different, but it’s 100% separate from your normal inner monologue due to the nature of the thoughts. Does anybody else’s talk to them CONSTANTLY? Like a whole bother person in there. Commenting on every thing they do or thing they think like a symbiote from Venom or something
Yes, for a while I was constantly arguing with myself. I was listening to a podcast, but I can't remember whose, and the guy was saying, if you hear a voice saying something then it's not you and if you hear someone else responding then it still can't be you, you're the one listening to both those voices. So that helped me to observe my thoughts without judging because neither of those voices were the real me. I might not be explaining it correctly...
Mine comes in as an intrusive thought. I’m very open with some of my friends about my OCD and intrusive thoughts and I use humor to cope so I named him Rod(for the joke). But the voice does kinda go constantly. Especially when I’m in situations in which I could harm myself or others, but it’s more of the obsessive thought of “I should unbuckle my seatbelt and jump out of the car. Right now.” And then it just won’t go away. Or since my obsessions revolve around contamination, it’s the voice repeatedly telling me how gross I am. How if I don’t shower I’ll have no friends. If I leave the house after showering I’m dirty- and etc
Me… but it comes in words that trigger me, sentences that trigger me, etc…
For me it’s CONSTANT. I’ll see some dude I slightly don’t like and hear some dude in my head: “BREAK HIS NOSE”. Or if I drop something then I’ll hear it again: “Nice going, dumbass”. And it SOUNDS all different then my normal voice, and will cut off my normal thoughts. Even more moderate thoughts, it comments on.
YESSSSS exactly
yep YEAH ITS EXACTLY THAT. like a parasite or a leech. Literally has a voice sometimes
it was worse wayy before I got diagnosed with ocd. I personified my ocd heavily and i talked back. Did not help
@susijxnsnsmsk YEAH. I literally thought I was possessed or something lol. It sounds so cheesy to describe it this way, but it literally feels like khonshu from moon knight
@Anonymous i just looked that up that sounds scary. Mine just sounds like a little brat now which is equally as scary
@susijxnsnsmsk God, I wish I had yours lol
@Anonymous i mean it's annoying at best lol.
i have something similar too this, but it’s just like random conversations going on in my head, usually right before i go to bed, more so when i have my eyes closed
Does anyone ever experience their mind TELLING them to think about something that you have the capability to obsess over? And I’m able to resist thinking about it, but it’s like there’s a continuous OCD voice in my head saying “think about X.” And sometimes I wonder if I make things worse by not thinking about it, but I also don’t want to listen to OCD’s demands
I’m wondering if anybody else deals with an intense inner dialogue. It seems like my thoughts overlap each other and sometimes don’t make sense. Whether it’s a song stuck in my head, a million thoughts at once or both. It seems to never stop, even my dreams are super vivid. More recently I’ve been noticing random words or sentences that somebody has said before that has no meaning to what I’m thinking about, it will just pop in my head for no reason. For example I’ll be in the shower and “hear” a sentence one of my friends said. It sounds like their voice but it’s just in my thoughts if that makes sense. My core fear is losing my mind, so this spirals and my ocd tries to convince me that I’m hearing voices. Can anyone relate? If so what are some things that you have found to be effective when it comes to staying present. I hate not being as involved in conversations or not giving my 100% attention to things happening around me
Does anyone else think of their ocd as like, a separate entity? I do, and I think it’s helped me a lot. I feel like it kind of is a parasite sometimes, especially with intrusive thoughts. What do you guys think?
