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!

acted on intrusive thoughts…
My OCD is awful when it comes to intrusive thoughts, and I also have BPD. I’ve never acted on the intrusions in harmful ways before—I’ve always found ways to manage them that are healthy and safe. But I got quite drunk during a psychiatric episode (I wasn’t fully aware I was in one at the time), and I acted on an intrusive thought in a way that wasn’t healthy or very safe. That’s the best way I can put it. I’m so ashamed and overwhelmed with guilt. I didn’t physically harm anyone or anything, but what I did was enough that it’s been eating me alive and has severely heightened my mental state. I’ve tried using my usual coping skills, I reached out to 988 and other crisis lines, I even texted AI chats. But I’m too scared to tell my regular therapist or psychiatrist. I’m currently on a leave of absence from work because I was already in a crisis state, and now I just don’t know what to do. I tried looking for articles or videos from people who’ve acted on intrusive thoughts, but everything says things like “people with OCD never act on them” or “intrusive thoughts are harmless,” and while those can be reassuring in general, I did act on one. Not being able to find any resources or support for this makes me feel even worse. That’s a big reason why I downloaded this app.

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

Feeling alone with OCD
Sometimes I feel like nobody really gets me. Nobody knows what’s going on in my head. I try to explain in vivid detail, but my ocd immediately reads the other persons face and registers that they don’t get it. It’s a very isolating experience. Anyone else have something like this?
