Its in the past? Then it happened already. Regardless your not responsible for controllin everything ...let it be...its not worth your anxiety. Tell urself "what is meant to be will be" and I cannot control what happens in the world. It may OR may not ..what if? ..ok so what. You can go on and live your life ...you CANš its just your obsessions goin playing you dont let that upset you. Its only thoughts not Real ..leave the thought at the door, let it goš
No worry please, Honestly sometimes they cant see them all, lots of posts daily from different countries its alot on feed so not everyone will see your post to answer. Its not they dont read or care. I posted few days ago no reply then i saw several posts that came right after mine pushing mine ALL the way down on feed so no one saw it. People DO Care here....I CAREā¤
Just wanted to say something that has helped me is just being sarcastic with those thoughts like āYup youāre right sure Iām going crazy uh huh sureee ā like just laughing at it helps like acknowledge the thought but laugh at it poke fun at it it has helped me on top of the maybe, maybe not thought also
Yeah we pour our heart out and get one reply if that itās actually quite sad how selfish people are,I am trying to deal with what if thoughts for the last year and am struggling really bad because people just say that you think to yourself āwhat if it does what if it doesnātā but saying that to myself just makes me believe it will come true š¢
@I hate ocd!! i completely get where your coming from it's hard and i can't do maybe maybe not either as it's like i'm agreeing with it and i'm then meant to be no go meg forward without knowing that's scary for me, i do have a trigger warning on my post so maybe it's hard for people to look which i also i understand just wish some one could help me š£
What if" thoughts are demon of OCD they always be there. They tell us to learn to accept the uncertainty of ..yes this may or may not happen then letting it BE. We cant control are thoughts we learn to accept them and not be controlled by anxiety. OCD lies it will ALWAYS tell us the worst will happen ...we know that's not true. It wants us to panic and stop. Keep goin! And let the thought pass you will feel better knowing ...ok whatever i let it GO!!šš
@Stefanie280 my what if is based on a past event so what if certain thing was said it's like i can't move on without knowing
I am in the same place after feeling anxious after a real event there was no reason for me to feel anxious so I started going over the day in my mind and couldnāt find anything to be anxious about so my mind started throwing in intrusive thoughts to explain the anxiety now the feel like they happened but I know they didnāt
@sazMar i'm just so stuck it stops me enjoying my life there's always something
Hello, this is my second post, not too long ago i made my first, talking about a sudden come-back of my intrusive thoughts. This post will talk about another of my issues, mainly regarding ocd (obviously) and relationships. As i had said before, i had been feeling terrible and felt like i didnt deserve love, especially the love of the guy that i love. I would like to add that in prior moments we have promised eachother and he has reassured me he will never leave me, but today he was pretty much gone all day (long distance) and for the most part ive just been overthinking, all night, actually.. thinking that at any moment he will just randomly block me on everything and never talk to me again. Its now 4:03 AM, and i just feel so scared. Im scared of losing him, this is predominantly because in a past relationship things ended suddenly, my ex switched up after we had promises and everything and i am absolutely horrified of things ending the same way for me and him. Iāve been anxious, trying to take my mind off of it, but if i do, my mind tells me that if i look away, when i look back, iāll miss it and heāll have already blocked me. and tries to tie in earlier conversations i had throughout the day and somehow ties them back to now. (Like my bestfriend telling me she had some dream where i apologized to my friends for āleavingā) For the past few hours ive just been out of it. Im scared of being obsessive, Im scared of losing him, and whenever i check to see, my heart skips a beat because i thinks heās gone. The thing is, I know this isnt the case, and I know there must be an explanation, but for some reason im still worried. and I know these thoughts arent a reflection of reality, but ive also had the idea that my thoughts can also affect what actually happens. I would also like to add that he lives in the US and is mexican, and with the increasing violent situation, my mind even starts to wander off and ask itself what if something happened to him? It makes it worse. because i canāt control it. and that makes me afraid. Im also worried about being a horrible partner, about everything failing and its all just making me feel worse. Yesterday morning I woke up feeling sort of out of it, and throughout the day i felt as if i were emotionless, which made me wonder what if i had lost emotions for him? this also happens to me sometimes. I, for some reason begin thinking like āyou lost your love for him nothings gonna happen ever.ā and my mind starts making up reasons why, or simply gives me this feeling of emptiness for that love, as if i have been detached from it. and then i overthink again āwhat if i actually dont love him but im just obsessed and thats all it is an obsession and none of it is real?ā that last part, im feeling it right now. along with everything else. Im exhausted, Im tired, and i just want to be happy with him. Thank you to all those who choose to read this. thank you. ā¤ļø Edit: I would also like to add that ive been also dealing with the occasional regular intrusive thoughts. which dont form fully in my brain but i can still sort of, āfeelā the intrusive thoughts uncomfortable themes.
I have something thatās been on my mind but my post isnāt getting any interaction. Only offer advice if youāre willing to respond please!!! People have asked me in the comments to share something and I do and they never answer which makes my mental even worse
