hey i had a really bad one recently and my mind had felt super weird but it’s all because of the stress and anxiety first days i was totally freaking out and nauseous and felt sick because of the thought but i just keep reminding myself they are just thoughts and i would never do anything like that ik it might be hard but try and talk to someone about it remember they are just thoughts
Thank you smile 521
a therapist introduced me to “leaves on a stream” where you observe your thoughts as they pass like leaves flowing on a stream, away from you. it takes time and practice to get a handle on it, but if you’re in therapy for ocd it’s worth asking about
@MoonBee Thank you moonbee
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?
I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you
