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

Hey yall, having a tough time. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later it’s like okay it’s a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment

so I need to get back into ERP, but it’s so hard to manage these thoughts and learn to deal with them. like I swear my mind has to make everything about it. Like every time I clean my room, my mind’s like yup make sure it’s clean so when your parents find you, or something so stupid like if I get a headache, my mind convinces me that I like the pain and that that’s why I get my thoughts because I actually want to do it. It’s so exhausting. Because I know I would never want to take my life and I treasure my life so why does it do it to me? It’s hard to comprehend the fact of these thoughts too because I don’t know many people with this exact theme. It’s such a scary feeling. And I’m constantly questioning whether I have actual depression or if it’s just my OCD. Yes I have been diagnosed with suicidal OCD, but my mind still tries to convince me otherwise. I just don’t know how to let these just sit and pass without panicking.

I’m trying to let them pass not engage nothing , trying to compusle but the thoughts won’t leave. My brain keeps telling me I should stab my dad for not asking if I’m okay after the death of my ex …
