I am so incredibly sorry for what you’re going through and I know from experience how painful it is. One thing that has helped me in my journey is giving OCD a silly little name and responding to the thoughts sarcastically even when they still stress me out. For example I would say “thanks Bob you’re ever so helpful 🙃” and then I would try my best to move on with the day/moment by engaging in a positive distraction like watching a show or coloring.
I've never dealt with that specific theme but I totally understand the difficulty of ocd. You're not alone. Keep doing ERP!
I take a deep breathe and pray. And I just remember that OCD can make you feel like you have urges and get intrusive and ego dystonic thoughts that don’t align in your values stuck in your head. The more we interact with the thoughts the stickier they get, kind of like a spider web! If we take a moment and sit with the thoughts they will eventually subside. Let me know if any of this helps you!
It may feel uncomfortable but you will be so much better for it when you take a moment and allow yourself to come back into the present and then suddenly OCD loses it’s grip.
What I would do, I’d take a stress toy if you have one and squeeze all your stress into it as long as you want and take deep breaths while doing it to relax your mind.
these days im feeling so bad, I can’t take it anymore, I have thoughts and images I don’t like that just won’t leave me, I feel so heavy, I want to bump my head into a wall until I pass out so I can have a break, I want my brain ti stop working and leave me alone, I can’t exist like this, I’m constantly thinking about this stuff and feeling disturbed, it just won’t leave, what do I do? sorry if this is written so badly but I really need to vent
I need help stopping my compulsive thoughts and worrying
i’m back in a cycle of having harm related OCD thoughts and feelings and urges and i get these episodes where it’s like i’m disassociating and feel like i’m about to snap and go crazy violent. does anyone else experience this? i need help
