Just something that helps: First thing in the morning I get on the treadmill and go as hard as I can for as long as I can. While Iām running I have to focus on breathing itās a nice distraction and by the time the thoughts come back Iām getting a boost of seratonin from working out & the urges are almost non existent!

I feel you sometimes it feels like the ocd will just not leave you alone. Stay strong girl, I donāt know if this will help you, but sometimes I try having something else to do that requires a lot of concentration. That seems to help with thoughts having a little less.

I can relate. Iām going through this right now so your not alone. Itās important we know it goes against our values and thatās itās not something we actually want to do. So your already taking a step there. I would say practice your RPMs and exposures if you came up with some with ur therapist. Urges are the same as thoughts and donāt mean that itās gonna happen more. So try to not do compulsions and take it day by day! You got this!

Idk what to do
Hey yall, having a tough time. Iāve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later itās like okay itās a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment

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?

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Iām going through a really bad relapse and right now Iām trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I wonāt act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I donāt know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because itās so long and Iām so unsure of everything thatās going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. Iām so confused.
