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!
Trying to ignore my thoughts but it feels like they are only coming at me more nowš im just at a loss i dont know what to do
Guys it feels so real and im really scared because it feels like i dont care about the thoughts and it feels like im going to do something terrible, its horrific. I am so scared i keep getting urges and images i dont know what to do because i get a whole rush of panic. I think whatās triggered it was my for you page on tiktok, on the Mendez brothers murder cases and The prada guy and im so scared but it feels like im not worried like abt the thoughts or feeling but i am scared pls reply its literally plaguing me in my head idk what to do bc it feels like im gonna do it
My intrusive images were an absolute nightmare back in April. I honestly donāt even know how it got better, I had written a letter to God begging for help. Well recently idk if itās because Iāve been stressed a lot again and ruminating on a lot of pocd related things from the past the make me worry, but the images have started again and even though they are repulsive and awful, I feel like Iām not reacting how I should. I think I just got to where I would just try to like blink it away and ignore it, but I feel so bad if Iām not feeling absolute shame and guilt. I feel like I feel too normal and sometimes I forget that if anyone knew besides people on here, I canāt imagine what people would think, but I also know itās not who I am so I feel like I donāt worry as much as I should. Also, I canāt stop worrying about fanfiction I read when I was like 16 and 17. It really bothers me because I keep wondering did I imagine this one character my age? Why did I read this? Did I even know what aging up was then, and even if I did itās wrong and gross anyway but if I didnāt age this character up then thatās awful. And i just canāt let go but I think itās triggering me to have the images so idk what to do.
