After letting your most intrusive thoughts in, is it normal to feel like you are going to do them while staying in discomfort? Or is it normal to have sensations like it's right and why would it be wrong? These ones are really scary and I can tell you that my bodh 24/7 is on fire inside.
I’m a bit confused about what you mean, are you saying like if you had an intrusive thought about having sexual relations with a kid or hurting someone (just by your tags) you believe in your mind that you would do it and it wouldn’t be a bad thing? Is that what you mean? Because if so then yes 100% that’s OCD’s way of scaring the shit out of you, once you start to accept the unknown ocd will do anything to make your thoughts even scarier to you because it’s trying to hold on for dear life for your attention, just keep saying ya ocd sure, maybe maybe not I have no idea and I don’t need to figure it out
yess that's what's I meant! i really try tk beat this thing and staying in discomfort really heloed but at times it comes back and really strong and I feel like i am going insane and i am vedy scared like nothing ever really matters on the earth kf i lose who I am, and my mind becomes very dark..
@cartoonlover You aren’t alone at all hun! I was the exact same way! I would have intrusive thoughts and think “that’s hot” and get a gronial response, it’s ocd trying to do anything in its power to get you stuck again, what helped me a lot was saying ok ya sure maybe that’s what I think maybe not who knows! And I did something else I enjoyed, I let the thoughts be there but no longer front and center, I played my video games or crocheted or watched a movie or tv show I loved something that was comforting to me and every time ocd crept up just kept saying I don’t have time for you right now ocd, I can have that thought but I won’t think on it! I promise it will get better I know how hard it is trust me!
@Michie thank you thank you! these days i am very hopeless but i really try to push through it.. 💕
@cartoonlover You can do this! I know it’s so difficult I felt the exact same way. Are you seeing a NOCD therapist?
@Michie nope, i never did therapy:(
@cartoonlover Also the account “ocd &anxiety” on YouTube is amazing! I love his videos! Also I suggest watching Chrissie Hodges on YouTube too
@Michie i did warched Chrissie.. i watched many videos on youtube but they did not help me much
i didn't get a response so i'm reposting, i'd really like another persons perspective... idk if what i write will make sense but i am scared of my ability to prolong and intensify / increase the vividness of the physical and mental feelings and thoughts i am experiencing to the point i think since i am doing something willingly that feels so horrific it makes me a bad person who did actually something bad. especially when this has to do with sxual thoughts that i absolutely despise. idk if it's a compulsion but it almost feels unavoidable (is it a compulsion?) let me explain like once my brain feels/knows i'm extra scared to imagine and feel something i get this anticipatory anxiety that just won't leave me alone until i undergo / get through what feels like the most disturbing, vivid level of my own thoughts and feelings and i can control that to a degree where i hyperfixate on my sensations and thoughts and it plays out and prolongs which feels so awful and real and then i'm like hold up i really just did that intentionally i feel traumatized and so grossed out. esp if i hold my breath for some reason i noticed my bodily feelings and mental images are more vivid and i feel so guilty for it. i've done so many exposures and i can't get over this fear of my own ability to purposefully be able to think really hard and manipulate the intensity of my most darkest thoughts that it disturbingly impacts both my body and mind, physical and mental reactions. is this common? is it a compulsion? what am i doing wrong and what should i do.
Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it
Today has been really hard I feel like I can’t even breathe I feel like a pedo for real :( whenever i think during my alone time i try and coexist with it? but when i decided to think and think i panic and panic more and more i start feel more guilty guys I can’t take this anymore bc when I kinda feel certain it fades aways i think logically i know i probably am ok :( but it’s so scary for me what if i did actually act on the thought and I didn’t realize? And now reflecting it ???
