I’m getting these bubbles of negative thoughts/feelings. I think cuz I’ve unconsciously started ruminating and these stronger feelings/thoughts/impulses bubble up. It’s tough to ignore cuz it feels like a gut feeling. Anyone else get this?
Yes, I’ve experienced this lately. It’s hard when it feels like intuition, but you know it’s OCD. When you start ruminating, even without meaning to, the negative thoughts will likely feel stronger. But you’re acknowledging the rumination-that’s great! When you realize you’re ruminating, use your tools to not engage and step back.
@Anonymous Thank you! It helps to hear it from some else.
You’re not alone. Ruminating has kicked up a notch today. Made a mistake yesterday and anxiety cranked up. After two months of very little - I forget how easy and sneaky it is to ruminate. I’ve got to start being cognizant and on my toes. Don’t let them slip by. Gotta jump on them and call them out.
Does anyone get “intrusive feelings”? I’ve experienced intrusive thoughts and urges, but I’m noticing intrusive feelings too. I’m about to start PMS-ing and I’m having weird depressed feelings like “I hate my life, everything sucks, maybe i want to die”. I have suicidal OCD and it seems like this is what my brain gravitates towards when I’m under stress. Even though I DO NOT want to die by any means, my brain throws these thoughts at me and it’s so scary bc I feel like maybe a part of me actually wants to do it. Idk why I feel depressed and shitty about my life when really I don’t want to be you know?? What do you guys think?
How do your “thoughts” come to you? Mine are so random and just pop out of nowhere. I think the feeling I get is the most disturbing part to me. I get chills, my stomach aches and I feel like I’m going to vomit. I get shaky. The fear is so intense and just instantly out of nowhere. What I struggle with the most is the guilt and fear “feeling” and because I’m feeling this I most be guilty or the thoughts are true because no innocent person would feel this. Does this happen to you guys as well?
Through mindfulness and meditation I have found a way to combat intrusive thoughts and have succession a good amount of time. Now, I feel my thoughts have transition into feelings which feels much worse than the actual thought. It’s by far the worst I’ve felt and only pushes my worries and concerns further. Why is this such a difficult battle? Ughh
