Yes, though that’s a sign of improvement 😊
Yes!
Anxious. Discomfort. Shame. Embarrassment. Disgust. All of it.
@Road2Recovery this but also sometimes i'm just numb to them
@j0vt same!
@snowflakes When i'm numb to it it makes me feel so guilty. But that's just another one of OCD's tricks!
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
Is anyone else sort of desensitized by their intrusive thoughts? I still get slight discomfort, and I don't like them, but I think I've been becoming numb to them in a way? It might just be a mental drain. I've been having an anxiety spike due to them for a month now.
does anyone else constantly suffer from intrusive thoughts? it makes my head ache & i can barely think straight.
