We can’t control the thoughts that come in, but we can control how we react to them
Take a deep breath in….and out!
Thoughts are just thoughts. Feelings are just feelings. They are like clouds passing through
I’ve had similar feelings, not knowing whether or not my thoughts are real, and being incredibly hopeless as a result of that. However, therapy/ERP showed that for me, usually the real relief doesn’t come from determining the validity of the thoughts, but rather embracing the uncertainty surrounding them. In my experience, being better able to embrace uncertainty results in less anxiety surrounding the thoughts, and a kind of natural clarity follows. It took a lot of time, vulnerability, consistency, and willingness, but things aren’t like they were for me prior to starting ERP. I still struggle sometimes, but I see the recovery process as a marathon, not a sprint. I hope this helps in some way!
Thoughts are nonsense. It means nothing about you. It’s only sticking around bc your brain flagged it as important since you are responding to it with fear. Let it be. We all have crazy, weird thoughts. Accept that it is there and continue on with your day. I promise you it will pass once you stop caring about it (and if that happens, no that doesn’t mean that you like the thought bc it doesn’t cause you to be anxious anymore!)
These thought make me doubt my self so much it makes me think that the thoughts are real and it’s not my ocd I just want to be my old self I didn’t think about anything I can’t looks at the same gender because then my brain tells me I like them. But I just don’t want to lose my girlfriend I love her so much she’s the one who cures my ocd when am with her I don’t think about anything
Hey yall, having a tough time. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later it’s like okay it’s a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment
Someone please help me I’m having intrusive thoughts of hurting my pets and I’m really scared of myself and I want these thoughts to go away. Can someone please help me I’m scared and I don’t know if I’m a monster
