Can anyone give me tips on how when I have an intrusive thought that doesn’t mean I did it. Like I’ll have a thought of something then my head will tell me that I did this .. anybody else deal with this
Yes 100% I deal with this every day. I have visualisations of a crime being committed and I can’t tell the difference between it happening and my brain making it up. I deal with this every single day and the best thing to do is to forget about it I KNOW I KNOW I HEAR THIS EVERY DAY ALL THE TIME TOO AND PEOPLE SAY IT LIKE ITS SO EASY but it’s the only way. If you forget about it, later the logic will come back to you. I’m trying to forget about my false memory
@izabela’socd I really appreciate the tip, it is the best way to be honest it’s just hard when the things you think you did hit so close to home .. thanks for taking the time to reply
@Anonymous I’m dealing with this right now. It’s so hard for me too that I physically can’t bare it so I completely understand
Yes false memory !! Feels like I did the thing (thought) it’s tough but their are some good podcasts out there about this !! Hang in there
@Anonymous False memory is absolutely brutal.. I just want to be able to trust myself again? Like I kno I didn’t do something that my head is trying to convince me I did.. it’s so hard :(
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
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? 😅
