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! :)

Spiraling
Please help I am having the worst spiral I have had in 5 years. I am doing so bad to the point I could not even sleep. Iām so scared, anxious and confused. I did ocd therapy for a long time and my therapist told me I was doing so well I needed to stop. Which I was until about 2-3 weeks ago it started back super bad. And now as of yesterday the intrusive thoughts feel more definitive. They are making me spiral, it literally feels like my brain is jumping from side to side. I love my boyfriend more than I knew was humanly possible. I havenāt lost my attraction to him, not that I know ofā¦ I donāt want to break up with him bc i love him, I think heās hot, I want to marry him but Iām terrified that I am just lying and that the feelings never were true! I donāt know how to make it stop. I tried all night not to research and I had to give in. š this is hell

What are some techniques to stop a spiral?
Iāve recently been having the spiraling intrusive thoughts coming up out of seemingly nowhere. Well not exactly nowhere, having some relationship issues but the thoughts will just randomly show up when Iām clam home reading a book.
