I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time with your intrusive thoughts. It sounds incredibly hard, but remember, you've made it through before, and you're stronger than you think. šŖ I'm not an OCD expert, especially when it comes to managing intrusive thoughts, but I can share some resources that have been helpful for me, if that's okay with you. You might find the OCD Reddit a good place to connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges. It's a supportive community where you can share your experiences and get advice from people who really understand what you're going through. Also, I want to tell you about "unstuck OCD therapy tools." It's a new app that my NOCD therapist recommended. It gives you AI-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. It's been a game-changer for me, helping me to manage moments just like the one you're describing. Hang in there. You're not alone in this. š

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! :)

morbid intrusive thoughts
hello! I am struggling right now because my intrusive thoughts havenāt been bad in almost a year, then out of nowhere things are getting awful. Iāve had them my whole life but it feels like my brain is attacking me with the most disgusting and weird things I could possibly think of. Iām not worried I will act on them but Iām more just freaked out that my mind is capable of coming up with these things and it makes me question who I am as a person. Iāve been to the ER twice this week with suicidal thoughts, I canāt do SSRI treatment because I have sensitive serotonin receptors and they always really mess me up. I feel like a freak right now and I just donāt know how to cope.

Itās just itās OCD bro itās OCD, I think I am going on a spiral and I just really need help like Iām tired of my OCD wanting to think about things and then saying itās not OCD when itās literally OCD
