Trying not to think about it will make your thoughts worse. Try understanding that those are thoughts that arent you and moving on. Ik its easier said than done but you are not your thoughts! Those are mental compulsions when you try to find a solution. Instead just try to acknowledge those thoughts and ideas and brush it off bc they aren’t really you. Proof that you arent like that is how you get uncomfy when they arise. Good luck!

I agree and believe the reason they come up in the first place is because they are ideas that you are against and don’t want any part of. Thoughts that I would obsess over were ones that were exactly who I wouldn’t want to be or actions I would never want to do but I think that’s the point. You obsess over the worst things you could think of until you feel like you’re gross and crazy for them coming in your head in the first place. Just try to not obsess over it and acknowledge it’s a passing thought and not something you want to do and that it’s ok for the thought to pass by and it has nothing to do with who you are.

The same thing happens to me all the time dude , it’s so irritating . When I was new to this subtype I genuinely told myself “if I’m a pedo i’m going to kill myself” . But I’m too scared to die but i’m also so tired of dealing with this

I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.

Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.
