How many times do you have intrusive thoughts? Is it weekly? Daily? Hourly? Minutes at a time? Im new on here and Im looking to talk to others that have intrusive thoughts. My IT happen frequently throughout the day. I am not on medication so I rely on my rituals. Prayers and words. I say the word LIE in my head and outloud. This works for a while. But the thoughts dont go away. They slow down maybe. Sometimes I say "Go away" and they do go away. For a few minutes. I cant believe Ive been doing this for so many years. I hope you know that you are not alone. At the very least just know you're not the only one. I do hope we can both find help.

@BioplasmaCA i am always here to talk if u need anything! ā¤ļø iām sorry youāre going through the same thing, it truly is awful. my intrusive thoughts are pretty much 24/7, iād be lucky if i get an hour without them. one thing that definitely helped me over time was letting go of my rituals like the ones you described. itās soo hard but eventually it makes the thoughts have less of a weight to them! :)

Help
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, Iāve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though itās gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While thatās something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.

suic. ocd
does anyone else with this theme feel like their suic. ocd skyrockets when something in your life happens?? iāve been doing so good managing these thoughts and not panicking, but i had a event happen in my life and all of them are back hitting hard. iām arguing with myself on whether im actually depressed or not and āwhat if this means my thoughts are realā, itās all what if thoughts, but because ive been doing so good with them, what if they are real this time? like im panicking again because im scared they are real? like iām not depressed im just going through a few things right now. idk what it is. but i really need tips on how to help with setbacks and what to do to stop myself from arguing with my mind when i already know the truth.
