Do the urges ever go away I feel like any second I'm going to cave into these intrusive urges trying to convince me I have to do these things. Does anyone have any advice or can share from there experience. 🥺
Urges are the worst because it feels like I should be doing what my urge is telling me to do but I just focus on something else or get moving , stretching for some reason helps
Hope you’re doing alright. I know it’s tough, I’ve been there plenty of times. Still have many challenges ahead of me I’m sure. Remember ocd is kind of built around guilt, the more you cling onto the thoughts the more guilty you feel and the more the thought lingers in your head. Remember it’s ocd, not you. The subtype about ocd could be anything, but mostly it latches onto your bigger fears which is why it makes life so tough. My advice, remember this is ocd not you, from there you can learn to isolate you from the ocd. And then work on building confidence in yourself, that way when the ocd does come back you can just laugh at it instead of being swept away
Yes, the urges do go away go with what you want okay? If you don’t wanna do something you don’t need to do it. Do you feel pressured? Are your thoughts telling you to do it or is someone telling you to and what are they convincing you about like what’s the situation here? And I have some advice! :D try to distract yourself and do something you like or love to do spend time with the people you trust and have some family time and start some conversations to distract you these urges start to ease when you tell yourself you don’t need to do these things or even talk to me about it! :D I have more to say but I will wait for your response just know YOU DON’T NEED TO FEEL PRESSURED ITS YOUR HEAD TELLING YOU AND CONVINCING YOU OF THESE THINGS ITS OKAY! <3
@MyalinH I feel ashamed to even say what the urges are to... 🥺 but let's just say my subtype is harm ocd towards myself or others 🥺
@nattieee aw it’s okay if your uncomfortable talking about it you truly don’t need to. so I am guessing these things you think of trigger you to do things to yourself or others and if that’s the case just know those thoughts aren’t good or healthy and it’s not good to think this way tho it’s okay to think the way your thinking at the moment don’t harm yourself or others even tho you have that trigger to try to avoid the things that trigger you luv:(
or you can even talk to the ones you trust about it :D
I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.
