That’s the problem; you’re trying to shut them off. You can’t. Ever. You’re gonna suffer these thoughts forever. False. Take a breathe and bear with me yeah? 1. You’re thinking too much into your thoughts. Something I know for certain - YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE THOUGHTS THAT ENTER YOUR BRAIN. That’s super shitty huh? It can be the most VILE, DISGUSTING, ILLEGAL, OUTRAGEOUS thoughts it doesn’t matter you can’t control them. It can be about strangers, friends, family. 2. This is the hard part bear with me. Accept the thoughts. Accept them, “yk what brain? Yeah that’s exactly what I wanna do” - this is not a permanent fix, and it’ll take a few days of work EVERYTIME a thought comes but eventually they stop. They do. They’ll appear here and there but handle it this same exactly way. This is how you handle EVERYTHING ocd related. 3. No more overthinking the thoughts, no more fighting thoughts, no more searching, no more convulsions. You got this lemme know if you have any more questions. Remember this is how to handle ocd this isn’t meant to make you feel better. Sir with it

@Mr. Baldbastic I can try to help the best way I can - I’m still fairly new to ocd and I’m only 21 so not much life experience - but I know what I have to do and what to get done with ocd so I at least have an understanding on how to help

@Anonymous The age thing doesn't really matter to me. What matters is it seems like you're making progress with your plan.

@Mr. Baldbastic Same approach to everything - like a 3 step plan Harm? Thoughts can’t be controlled, accept the thought 100% even when it’s hard, move on POCD? Thoughts can’t be controlled, accept the thought 100% even when it’s hard, move on Contamination? Thoughts can’t be controlled, accept the thought 100% even when it’s hard, move on Sexual ocd? Thoughts can’t be controlled, accept the thought 100% even when it’s hard, move on All that matters is your actions - oh wait you suffer real event ocd? Hmmm but that’s your actions - if you did it once you’re bound to do it again right? Wrong Real event ocd - accept your past as it is. You messed up, you made mistakes - that’s not you anymore - if it was then it wouldn’t be bugging you right now and you would be okay with it

@Anonymous I’m new to this app. I’ve dealt with OCD my whole life. Currently experiencing “real event ocd” over a a past mistake(s). I can’t seem to forgive myself. The shame and guilt debilitate me. My brain convinces me I don’t deserve to love or feel love or enjoy my life now. Tells me I’m “living a lie because of my past mistake(s)”….Any idea on how I can overcome this?

@Charmander5 Hi there, I also have the same feelings on this matter. Medication has really helped me, but recently started therapy and that's been a game changer for me honestly. How have u been feeling since this post?

What do you say to OCD when you have harm urges?
I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
