I will try to give the best advice based on your post. Have you started any sort of treatment or recovery program? You can only get so much advice from the community without it possibly leading to compulsion seeking. The best thing you can do at the moment is sit through the anxiety you're having and use this as a challenge to do something different with your obsessions. ERP is going to be the best form of therapy, but it is better to get a proper diagnosis and work with a specialist on a good recovery system. You can call into NOCD and set up an appointment! In the mean time, be very easy on yourself and try your best to avoid compulsions! When your OCD starts telling you to focus on the colors, allow yourself to remember that they're just colors. You don't need to avoid them!
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?
New to this app. Do members find it helps, I'm worried I will start obsessing over things I hadn't thought about before when I read other people's OCD triggers...
please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?
