You donât have to accept the content of the thoughts, but acknowledge that those thoughts and feelings are present and are not dangerous like your brain perceives. Sit with the anxiety for as long as possible without doing compulsions. You got this!
@blazed Thank you so much đ
Just acknowledge that they exist. Going off of blazed, you just need to sit down and let your levels come down. Thereâs a sos button if you need it :)
@â¨Pennyroyal⨠Thank you đ
I donât really wanna go into detail about what itâs about cause I feel like itâs super embarrassing, but thereâs this one specific type of intrusive thought I get that I struggle extremely with ignoring/sitting in discomfort with. Does anyone have tips for managing something like this?
Recently Iâve been having scary intrusive thoughts about hurting myself or others. Iâm so scared, what do I do?? I wouldnât hurt a fly.
Does anyone have any tips they can share as to what they do to prevent intrusive images from coming into their brain? Or when it happens how to cope?
