I have that too. I think it's quite common for OCD to act like that.

Not silly. Ocd makes us thing ridiculous things. Ask yourself what is really gonna happen if I wear these? The only real answer is nothing lol other than you will feel some discomfort because the intrusive thoughts will tell you otherwise but we already know everything they say is B.S.

Yep. The best exposure you can do is wear them. If not all night then start with an hour

This resonates with me. I also avoid things, sometimes even people, if I think it will trigger me. It makes me feel sad especially if I liked that thing before the triggering thoughts happened. Which makes me curious… I wonder if you have any positive memories of these pajamas. Maybe next time I want to avoid a particular item, I will try to remember what I liked about it in the first place, a time when it brought me joy.

Hi everyone sometimes when I try to do something or do something my ocd tells me if I post a certain things or wear certain clothes that that some people in my life won't talk to me or distance themselves away from And I know it's sound crazy, but I feel like it's real what should I do I don't know how to fight it or stop I've been like this since I was 13 I went to therapy and iam taking my medicine but still those thoughts won't stop I don't know how to deal with it

i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?

idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
