A lot has been on my mind lately. I just can't seem to stop these intrusive thoughts... my mind's been racing since the time I woke up.. I'm tired, really tired.. I just want these thoughts to go away...
It is exhausting and everytime feeling tired of brain over thinking. Intrusive thoughts when eating,walking,talking to someone. I got medicines for some long times it worked by making sleepy all the day not allowing me to think.but soon i left medicines these happens again.what are you doing your effort to fight ocd ?
Honestly speaking, I'm doing nothing about any of it. Idk what to do about it, where to start, what's gonna be right or wrong... I'm just so so confused that it's irritating me to the point I just wanna sleep all day so as to not think about anything at all.
@Ella_ Rose Ahhh i tried this sleeping method dear. Still you wake up you get thoughts. I tried many tricks to stay in present to enjoy each moment but did not worked. I tried to stay in friends gathering. Still i get so many thoughts that i loose concentration about what others are talking. Before it was not so much worst. But a big trauma in my life caused it worst. Dear did you also faced any trauma recently ? I believe you can help me and i can help you
@junaidkhan327 Yes, I'm afraid, I did face a traumatic event recently- it's been over a year now but I still feel like it's been just a month or 2. Even for me it was bearable before but now things are just out of hand. Ah, I'd be more than glad to help but I'm afraid, I might not be of much help as I'm still new to all this and don't know how to deal with it myself.
@Ella_ Rose Its ok dear. Same a trauma hitted me in 2021 at that time i was in worst condition then i got some medical help but soon medical help stopped it started again with different thoughts. Untill you not get medical help try to stay busy,busy and just busyy doing anything which can make your brain not allowed to thinking.

I'm not so sure about doing this ... As these thoughts also end up being suicidal at times and I do act impulsively, so I'm just scared that I might do something stupid if I agree to these thoughts. Plus I always end up with anxiety attacks after overthinking. This awful feeling just builds up and won't leave me alone ...
Hey man, the only thing I have found that works is waking up when OCD starts knocking. Doesn't matter when it is, you won't be able to go back to sleep. During this time I like to exercise or go to the gym if it's open. You also need some kind of way to reinforce positive thoughts about yourself as OCD really harm self-esteem, making it harder to heal. If you don't have a therapist then the next best option is medication. I'm doing decently on Luvox, but each person may find a different medication useful to help ease exposures.
I do the same thing but then i take lots of meds to me but i know what’s like to be when you have anxiety and General depression like me it’s hard to deal with
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.
I was sleeping after a very long stressful week at work and life but lately i was worried about myself cause I don't feel bad anymore just numb, I thought I was living and it's fine but I woke up now with jumble of different bad intrusive thoughts that it makes me feel like I'm crazy person it always happen when I'm stressed I guess but I feel like my mind is going crazy and I try to stop my mind from thoughts it's thinking about different things in one minute like idk what's going on Idk how to manage
does anyone else constantly suffer from intrusive thoughts? it makes my head ache & i can barely think straight.
