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 ✌️

@🅱️! 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!

Anyone have OCD where you have intrusive thoughts about your spouse and confessing them is the only way to get relief?

Feeling Alone And Tired
I’m fairly new to treating my OCD and have felt crazy for most of my life. It didn’t help that no one in my life truly understood OCD and always said I was being dramatic. I very recently (within the past few months) finally got diagnosed with OCD and my whole life started to make sense. However, I recently opened up to someone I really believed I trusted about the intrusive thoughts I have and now feel worse than I ever have before. They essentially called me a psychopath and said they are worried for the people around me. Even though I would and could never hurt anyone. I’ve never felt more alone and broken in my life. I already try very hard to hide my OCD and everything associated with it because no one in my life understands so it’s been easier to deal with it myself than listen to everyone say whatever they have to say about my situation. After what happened today I’m even more inclined to just keep it to myself. I don’t know what I’m expecting from writing this but I figure this is the best place to write what I’m feeling. Going through OCD is hard enough on it’s own. But when people are telling you they think you’re a danger to society and are crazy because of your intrusive thoughts it really hurts. I’m just tired.

Keeping it to yourself?
Part of my OCD is that I can’t share my intrusive thoughts and compulsions with anyone. I can’t say it out loud because then that makes it more true? OCD is weird like that.
