Yep me too! You have to just try and except the thought ! Play with it , joke with it , I keep getting the rocd itās super annoying , got a great woman sheās amazing in every way Iāve felt with my whole soul how much I love her and I absolutely love loving her and feel amazingly happy with her , and then will feel like eh maybe I donāt want her I think I wanna leave , Idk if I love her , literally right after feeling so much joy and love for her Lolol, itās stupid contradicting and irrational, but you just gotta try and let it go ! I know itās hard even me telling you this Iām annoyed and worried but Iāve been through it so many times and end up feeling better after I usually just push through and keep pushing
Honestly need an answer to this too š
You just have to accept that whatever you might've done or whatever you thought about has already been done and over with and trying to go back and figure things out won't change anything but heighten your anxiety and your basically trying to punish yourself by trying to feel guilt or anxiety to reassure yourself that your a good person or that you didn't ruin anything it doesn't solve anything. I have a hard time myself with this but slowly getting better.
Helllo
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? š
Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, Iāll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, itās kinda like how a āvisionā is portrayed. Iāll get a glimpse of the thought and then itāll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I donāt know if Iām causing this or if itās just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if itās just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I donāt know how to stop any of this. Help?
When you get a stuck thought in your mind, as stupid or untrue as it may be, how do any of you block them out, or try to at least? Itās like my mind has another voice telling me making up the stupidest things?
