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
I’ve been in an OCD loop for a month now and Im struggling so much alone, no one in my family get what Im going through and are just ignoring me, and I got no friends to tell Im stuck in this cycle and it feels like Im lonely in a dark place, Im writing this right now cuz u guys know the struggle, if it’s okay can u please leave a comment so I don’t feel alone in this, can u please share tips and advice so I can go through this, I feel like Im losing it
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way
I'm struggling severely. Please comment so I have a therapist or someone to talk to. Someone has caused me to spiral in another group.
