Saying intrusive thoughts out loud
Does anyone else already said his intrusive thoughts out loud when alone and really struggling with an ocd episode ? And then regretting so much I feel so alone 😢

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 ✌️
@Morpheus 75 Omg thank you so much for your message I really needed that ! It was horrible because it’s with a really taboo subject for me but happy to know I’m not alone ! I’m sending you a lot of strength 🥹🥹
I sing them to myself and then it makes me laugh and they don’t bother me as much
i always get an intrusive feeling that i have to say them out loud
@🅱️! But do you do it ? Cause it happens to me already and for something so bad and I just feel terrible guilt 😢
@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!
@Luke33:) Thank you so much, you’re right, I have to get through it! It was a year ago but I still ruminate on it 😢
I seeee ! Thank you
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
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? 😅
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.
