You aināt ever lied!
Thatās a great question that I wish too I had the answers to. This is what Iāve dealt with for 20+ years. Itās awful and my therapist says āWell theyāre just thoughts, just like hey that plant is green.ā Iām like yeah I wish it was that easy
I relate to this soooo much. Especially when ur doing better and there isnāt anxiety with those suicidal thoughts so u think that they must be real. Itās so hard but I try to remind myself that these intrusive thoughts go against my values and I wouldnāt act on it.
And then⦠you start questioning your values and so you might actually do it??? OCD IS SO TIRING.
We got this tho, your not alone šŖ
Feel the same. Feels real. My intrusive thoughts develop themselves to other places all the time. Itās so hard
Going through this right now !!
How are you guys doing now? š„ŗ
Thatās kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just canāt make my mind up about something and Iām using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
Lately my OCD has been very horrible, itās been more convincing than ever to the point where Iām genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, Iāll hear my intrusive thoughts go āoooh, I like that, Iād do that.ā and I just donāt freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and Iām just lying now, i canāt tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since Iām getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and Iām worried about that being true because I donāt understand nor know Itās like I am resisting to like this stuff now, itās even tougher now than it was before
There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldnāt be around my children and I donāt trust myself.
