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 struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Saying intrusive thoughts out load
Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.

The Quiet Ones
I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.
