I was fine for so long, didnt have any intrusive thoughts, but i saw something on facebook that triggered a form of ocd i thought i recovered from over a year ago. Im so afraid that there is something wrong with me. I’m so afraid what if i do something super horrible that i don’t want to? What if i go crazy and something bad happens because of me? I dont want to have these thoughts i just want to be normal.
Part of practicing ERP is to sit with the discomfort the thoughts may incite and know that you can handle them. Keep this in mind: OCD is a liar, a bully & a leech. So we; pay no attention to the liar, brave the bully and brush off the leech. We accept the uncertainty and move forward in line with our values. Hoping this helps you and know that you’re not alone!!!
hey, i really feel for you. it sounds incredibly tough to have those old fears and intrusive thoughts pop back up, especially when you thought you were past them. it’s super common for triggers to bring stuff back up, but that doesn’t mean you’re back to square one or that there’s something wrong with you. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was in a similar spot, my NOCD therapist recommended it to me (unstuckmyOCD.com/try), and it was a game-changer. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized, step-by-step support for exactly these kinds of fears and unwanted thoughts, acting like an OCD therapist in your pocket. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Hey guys so I suffer from Harm OCD and thoughts about violently harming other and today I’ve been having super minimal thoughts . I had such horrible intrusive thoughts that it feels weird. I’m in constant fear that the thought will come back randomly and the urges will come back stronger than ever. And I’ll actually commit to my urges and act out on them. Like I still Feel weird because even though I don’t have anxiety ... the killer thoughts are in the back of my head. I gueninly don’t dee normal Anymore.
Ocd is like this bully that leaves you alone for a while and then come's back worse every time. This morning I just switched my tv on and for some reason I had this thought pop into my head that what if someone on the tv told me to harm someone... what if the ground is lava, man... I was doing so well last few weeks... then this. Worst thing is I feel alone in having these weird thoughts... feels like everyone's thoughts are normal or can atleast happen in reality while mine is totally out there... and I just started getting motivated again to enter modelling, now I'm scared AF is I can even do it with my mind always doing this shit.
So I know my ocd and intrusive thoughts are in a hiccup stage because of my pms and period coming but like I just can’t help but go well what if it’s not what if it’s back what if I’m out of recovery and then I get a thought and like it’s not causing as much anxiety it’s just like I’m like omg no I don’t want to think this is something wrong with me but Ik it’s all just ocd I just wanna feel as carefree as I did a week or so ago
