TW!! If you have Pure O, for your own good, please don’t read my post. Just searched up "intrusive thoughts/images" on french websites and they said that they’re all connected to hidden desires. We’re back at square one lol I don’t know if I can live with myself if it is true and seeing my psychologist scares me even more.

Funny - Everyone has intrusive thoughts. The priest, the Pope and even the Buddhist monk. Everyone.

It’s just another way ocd trying to scare you keeping you in the loop my psychologist would flare up my ocd as well

I would get triggered but I have already gotten triggered by something similar many times to the point that this is usual stuff (unfortunately ?) but the actual best thing you can do is to NOT overthink do NOT explore the doubt. I'm still working on this but when I manage to, I notice how I usually just forget what BS thought came up. I do feel like I can remember if I linger too much but I just have to snap out of the pull to overthink and go over it over and over and try to focus on whatever video or something entertaining that I was watching.

I've had this shit going on 5 years (can't believe I've made it this long tbh) and have learned the hard way that once you pay attention to a new thought, it will keep getting worse. I know it is so difficult but train your awareness and know when you are starting to get triggered and zeeeep move on to something that requires some focus and whenever you feel shit coming up zeeeeep focus on what is actually going on not what is in your head. I'm new on here so hit me up any time ✌

Thank you for your answers!I know I’m supposed to ignore the thoughts, accept them and that everyone has them on a certain degree but they’re terrifying and graphic, it literally stands against everything I am as a person (or not? that’s the fear right there). I’m literally having a one on one fight with my brain lol. And welcome to our community MrSnake!
