Fightingocd Hey! Nice post I used to post messages exactly like this for a while trying to reach out with some people experiencing the same shit. So definetly, read this twice if you need to, I SAY INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS OUTLOUD A LOT and then I feel like a monster. And the more qi feel like a monster the more I end up snapping again and say again intrusive thoughts outloud! It's like a f spiral or something. I even got mad about it because I was like let's imagine someone hears me and doesnt understand it's ocd don't want to trigger or anything lol but it's a big mess for sure! You're not alone trust me we're together in the same shit lol ✌️

@Fightingocd i usually don’t. i find them so against my wants that i can’t even get them out and it makes me very anxious to “try”

@🅱️! For me too, sometimes though when it’s there for so long I’m not even anxious anymore it’s just so weird and it happened as this time..

I think initially does make it worse. But in a book that I was reading, there were some recommendations that you can sing the thought to the tune of happy birthday or twinkle twinkle little star. Making a poem out of the thought. It’s kind of inviting the thought to enter your awareness in a slightly altered way. Since thoughts are in your brain, and you’re not speaking on behalf of them, it allows you to stay connected to the thought while also accepting allowing the feeling to remain.

@hi.im.mol Yes I totally see what you mean. I think it was to try myself If I will react or not, it was really weird I have no clue why I would have done that honestly but I think I’m gonna try not to ruminate too much on it now 😭😢

One of OCDs greatest weapons is shame. By taking the messed up thought and putting it outside yourself helps to break that shame cycle. I do it all the time. It sucks to hear or see the thought outside yourself but I don’t think there is a way around it. Remove the shame!

Intrusive thoughts
I’ve had many types of OCD, but I gained control over them over the years, but a new one has started to arise. Do y’all ever have scary thoughts about something you might do? Recently I’ll get extremely uncomfortable no matter where I am because I can’t stop thinking about “what if I screamed really loud in my lecture class tomorrow?” And other stupid stuff like that. Also, this one is kind of funny, but sometimes when I use the bathroom I pause before because I think “what if I’m actually in class right now?” I also cannot control the thoughts about past embarrassing moments. I know everyone does, but I will become visibly uncomfortable and harp on something from years ago. This happens all throughout the day. Also, does anyone else do things that resemble tics when you get these thoughts. Like when they happen I’ll curse under my breath or like jerk my head a little bit. When I’m in public I keep it low key but when I’m alone sometimes I’ll physically get up and pace or something when those thoughts happen. Just curious if anyone has had these experiences

A small vent
I've been struggling with ocd since I was 7. I'm 18 now and it feels like the older I've gotten the worse it's gotten. I don't know how to deal with it and i feel so lost and alone. Its hard for me to even say what my intrusive thoughts are or to even fully acknowledge it to myself in my head because im scared that if i put it out in the world itll be true or if i acknowledge the thought it solidifies it and makes it true. i feel like im just over exaggerating what im feeling and im turning something that isnt there into something bigger which makes it hard to talk about it with other people. Especially because im not diagnosed but I know it's ocd but what if it isnt? What if im lying to myself or I'm just doing it to get attention and I don't realize it? I just try to deal with it on my own but it's so hard and feels impossible. I feel like ocd has contaminated every part of my life that I enjoy. The things that used to bring me comfort are now filled with things that trigger my ocd and bring me anxiety.

Gotten worse
My ocd them has gotten worse and I’m trying my hardest to not look for reassurance. Why does my mind play these tricks on me that I’m saying my thoughts out loud????? I’m trying my hardest to ignore it but it’s making me depressed. When I’m ignoring it my brain will go to “everybody will talk about you” “you said something bad” “you said it out loud and when you’ll live a terrible life”. I don’t know what to do anymore
