Do you guys ever get like a thought that is so delusional and false. And still find yourself thinking about it over and over again as if it was real? I’m going through that now😔🤦🏻♀️

Yes, it can feel like being in a rollercoaster that never ends. But you can get off the ride! When you have those thoughts, let them be there. Don’t engage with them or try to solve them, just say “interesting” and keep doing whatever you were doing before the thought popped up. Are you in therapy for OCD? If not, I recommend giving NOCD a call for their free consultation. They helped me so much!

I’m not an expert and passing along some information acquired in my OCD journey. When you fight against the thoughts, you’re signaling the brain to mark them as being important. We all have horrible thoughts. Those not having OCD will just shrug them off and not let them bother or give meaning to them. That’s contrary to those of us with OCD. It takes practice not to respond to the thoughts or to follow them down the rabbit hole of trying to figure them out or seeking 100% of certainty. Instead lean towards the uncertainty (maybe, maybe not). I know it’s easier said than done and you can do it!!!

@Dee C Thank you it takes a lot of strength to let the thoughts but there. But I’ll try by not trying so hard🥰

YES! For the past three weeks i’ve been thinking someone from the cellular service stole my information. It’s been keeping me up and stressed for the longest but i’m starting to convince myself that’s false because who would want to do that.

@mtkenumb on top of that, i’ve gone as far as stalking the manager and trying to find every detail about them that will help me think they’re a good person.. it’s been affecting my relationship as well because i have had the worst anxiety

Oh wow yeah my anxiety is this bad! Like I know there’s no way that this thing happened. Like the logic side of my brain knows but ocd doubts always drag me back under. I hope we both get out of this “funk”.

Physcosis ocd??
Recently ive had ocd thoughts that are really weird and make no sense (they sound like thoughts that someone would have if they were in physcosis eg. What if trump can communicate with you through your head) like what??? Sometimes it feels like i believe it??? Which stresses me out and im constantly worried that im going through physcosis since i sort of belive it? I know deep down its ridiculous but it almost feels like i believe it?? Im scared. Like sometimes im calm with the thought. Im like oh okay maybe. Then sometimes my brain tries to imagine him like talking to me through my head??? Am i going through physcosis.??
