Your not alone. I have intrusive thought allll day long girl. I’ve been dealing with harm OCD for so long. Remember. You are in control no matter how intense the emotions and thoughts get. You are capable of handling these waves of panic. Just breathe in and out. You are NOT your thoughts. OCD is attacking what you value and love most. It always does. It is a liar. Your thoughts and emotions are not special. If you’ve thought it and felt it. So have thousands of other people including me. Sit with those emotions. Face them. Be brave. Trust yourself over your OCD.

Having no anxiety is good I would think. We are trying to teach our brain that these thoughts are just thoughts. I can see how you would feel scared because of the nature of the thoughts. My response before ocd was “ ugh that was a bad thought” and then I would let it go. OCD likes to make us feel responsible for every thought that pops up like they mean something about us. It truly like to bully us. I too had these thoughts when my kids were little and it sucked.

Harm ocd Advice
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
