How to manage intrusive thoughts and urges effectively?

You don’t 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!

Just acknowledge that they exist. Going off of blazed, you just need to sit down and let your levels come down. There’s a sos button if you need it :)

hey, i totally get how tough dealing with intrusive thoughts can be, it's like a never-ending battle in your mind. 🙏 just remember, you're not alone in this. have you heard about "unstuck"? it's an ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (unstuckmyocd.com). it's really helped me out this past month and could offer you some relief too. another member here recommended it to me, and i just wish i had found it sooner!
