Who can tell? What's the worst for me isn't the same as for you. OCD is creative beyond borders...That's why we have learn to not fall for it's tricks.
Whatever will upset you the most and whatever will get you to stay hooked
but what if those thoughts doesn't make me anxious anymore?
@set_me_free:) Using anxiety as proof that you don’t like a thought is pretty dangerous for recovery because then you will never be able to progress. Your brain can get bored of the same thoughts if you think about them over and over. If you are still ruminating about it that’s a symptom of ocd just like anxiety is a symptom. You don’t need either of them they both can be used as forms of reassurance. If there was a solution to the thing you are ruminating about you would have thought of it by now :) Ocd is so tricky but you got this! You might want to check out the “backdoor spike” a lot of people have trouble getting into ocd recovery because of the lack of anxiety that occurs in the backdoor spike.
@Keepongoing Thanks for explaining ❤️
I don’t believe there is an “ocd” thought. A thought Is just a thought. Ocd would just mean how you respond to it.
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
I feel like one of the worst things about ocd are the disturbing images or the ‘little movies’ that replay in your head over and over again. I have the worst sexual images with one of my family members that actually so bad that I can’t even look in the mirror. And it’s even worse that I have a lovely boyfriend and I’m so disgusted of myself that I feel like I don’t deserve him and I feel like I can’t be with him because of these thoughts, even he is the most precious thing in my life. These sexual images are so horrible and what makes it even worse that in these pictures I always see myself as someone who enjoys it. I know how to deal with this anymore. My mind is trying to convince me that that I actually like these images and thoughts and this is the hardest part, that I’m doubting myself. These images pop up in my head so naturally that I always question myself if I actually don’t like it why it comes so naturally or how can my brain picture things like this if I don’t like it. It’s getting worse day by day. It’s in my head 24/7, can’t concentrate on anything else, I can’t eat because I’m constantly throwing up. And my mom has to sleep with me every night because I’m so disturbed by my own mind. My parents know that there’s something wrong with me, they think I’m depressed but sadly It’s not something I can talk openly about with them. I’m seeing a therapist next week but I’m genuinely scared to open up about these thoughts that I’m having.
