Stay strong, I don't go through that and I hope it doesn't happen to me, another headache, but like me, stay connected to what you want from the bottom of your heart, the mind is very powerful, it can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's very difficult, I know, with what I deal with it has been difficult for me, but I keep it clear what I want for myself and as long as it is like that nothing will make me modify it
Hi! You have ocd and you’re experiencing intrusive thoughts. These thoughts feel distressing because they go against your values. But that’s all they are- thoughts. Lots of people have so many different thoughts throughout the day that they don’t even pay attention to. You have to try and do the same- when you get the thoughts- remember that they don’t mean anything, let them pass. When you get another one, do the same. Remember you’re not a bad person- these thoughts don’t say anything about who you are ❤️
@Dee88 Thank you so much for this. All I feel like I need right now is some support. I appreciate you.
@Katarinagabriella You’re so welcome!
This, unfortunately, is a common ocd theme. OCD attacks what you value. I would bet you value children and childhood so the icky intrusive thoughts (that anybody can have) get stuck making your adrenal glands and brain think something is really wrong when it is not. Ali Greymond on YouTube is very helpful!! You are not alone!! I wish you all of the best!
hello! i can’t see your last two posts, but we’re here to give a hand!
@grlwithocd 🎀 When I see children all I think about are their private parts :( it scares me and I don’t know how to change it. It’s like no matter what the thoughts don’t leave my head. When I’m 23 and for years I was fine and didn’t have these thoughts :(
@Katarinagabriella Hi. I'm new to this. I've been learning so much from a guy someone on here recommended to me on YouTube as I'm waiting to start therapy. These thoughts are not who you are, they aren't true.
@Mike in PA Who is it?
@Katarinagabriella Mark DeJesus. He is a former pastor so much of what he says is faith based, but so much is about taking power away from thoughts
@Mike in PA Thank you
Hello I'm just posting to see if anyone needs to talk about your day or what's bothering you! Feel free to comment
The other day I made a post about being kind and supportive and not being judgmental when commenting on other people’s posts because someone made a comment on my post insinuating that I don’t have ocd and i’m actually just a bad person. At first it didn’t really bother me because I know i’m not a bad person but now my ocd is latching onto their comment and it’s making me feel horrible. My post that they commented on was about how whenever I think things to myself like how my pre teen daughter is blessed to have slim legs and not chubby thighs like mine and she’s growing up into a nice shape or my teen son has a nice shape jawline and neck and it’s good that he’s slim but he’s too slim or how all of my adult kids are so handsome/beautiful my ocd turns my random normal mom thoughts into something inappropriate. I know I don’t think of or look at my kids or any kids or young person in an inappropriate way. My ocd says I do and I was seeking support. That persons comment was so damaging for me. I tried to think maybe they have never had dark disturbing intrusive thoughts with their ocd themes and maybe they just don’t understand or maybe they have never had pocd theme or maybe they are not a parent but even if all of that were true, their comment was still so judgmental and damaging. I am struggling even more now because my ocd is latching onto that persons comment and making me feel like a horrible person. Has anyone else had this happen? How did you get through it?
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
