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
i would like some advice please and i didn't get any responses š.. apologies for reposting but just need some thoughts on this š„² //// after frustrations with erp not working, i intentionally brought up the intrusive mental images as well as sensations during an exposure in trying to practice desensitizing myself to them. but now im scared that me purposefully bringing on the images and especially the disturbing outward sensations means that i did something bad or acted on my thought since i took the action to purposefully create and bring the disturbing intrusive images and thoughts and feelings. now it feels like not just a fear but reality. and my anxiety levels are just too much. i'm just feeling terrible and would like some thoughts or support
I saw a post saying that thinking about something for a while will bring it to you. Now Iām scared and panicking because I think about illnesses and getting a disease almost everyday. What should I do? Im very scared
The other day I made a post about being kind and supportive and not being judgmental when commenting on other peopleās posts because someone made a comment on my post insinuating that I donāt have ocd and iām actually just a bad person. At first it didnāt really bother me because I know iām not a bad person but now my ocd is latching onto their comment and itās making me feel horrible. My post that they commented on was about how whenever I think things to myself like how my pre teen daughter is blessed to have slim legs and not chubby thighs like mine and sheās growing up into a nice shape or my teen son has a nice shape jawline and neck and itās good that heās slim but heās too slim or how all of my adult kids are so handsome/beautiful my ocd turns my random normal mom thoughts into something inappropriate. I know I donāt think of or look at my kids or any kids or young person in an inappropriate way. My ocd says I do and I was seeking support. That persons comment was so damaging for me. I tried to think maybe they have never had dark disturbing intrusive thoughts with their ocd themes and maybe they just donāt understand or maybe they have never had pocd theme or maybe they are not a parent but even if all of that were true, their comment was still so judgmental and damaging. I am struggling even more now because my ocd is latching onto that persons comment and making me feel like a horrible person. Has anyone else had this happen? How did you get through it?
