According to google: "Succession splash Also known as a gastric splash, this is a sloshing sound that can be heard when you move your stomach quickly while drinking water on an empty stomach. It's caused by the presence of gas and fluid in your stomach, and you can hear it without a stethoscope. When you push your stomach out, it sounds like something is filling with fluid, and when you let your breath out, it gurgles."

I listen way too closely to everything my body does, because of OCD. I have been exactly here before and I’ll tell you this is something you should try accepting. Sit with the uncertainty as best you can. Reach out if you need anything

@redbud it’s super hard- how do i stop listening to bodily sounds and critiquing my compulsions as “wrong” if i hear one of those noises

@Anonymous7779 Don’t try and stop listening. Let yourself listen and try to stop resisting the thoughts that come up. Listening is the obsession. You need to stop the compulsions that come after you notice your stomach make a sound. Do you know what some are?

@redbud it’s with drinking water- if i hear sounds in my throat/stomach while drinking water or after it, or if i hear a burp go down my throat/stomach if that makes sense, then i have to start all over again and drink the water again.

@Anonymous7779 That makes sense. Maybe try drinking water until you hear the sound and then see how long you can resist drinking more

@redbud the issue is if i hear the sound i need to start again. the compulsion is so hard and elaborate that when i try to fix it it takes hours. i had to stop for the night because i don’t feel like going insane tonight.

Our bodies make all kind of noises if we’re really listening. Sometimes we listen too closely if we’re anxious.

Advice please??? I’m CONFUSED
OK, this might sound really dumb, but when you guys get intrusive thoughts, do they just come once and then go away? I’ve heard that repeatedly thinking about an intrusive thought is considered ‘checking,’ but it doesn’t feel like I have any control over how many times it comes up in my head. It’s not like I’m trying to check anything—it just keeps showing up, almost like it’s terrorizing me every time. I can’t seem to stop it from looping, stop remembering it, or prevent it from coming up. Every time it does, I feel horrified, and I already know it’s going to horrify me. I don’t think I’m actively trying to see if my feelings have changed, so is this still considered checking? How do other people get an intrusive thought and just move on? Doesn’t it pop up a million times for them too? I always thought that was normal, but now I’m hearing this could be a compulsion, and I feel really confused, scared, and lost. Is this why my OCD feels so extreme? Because I really don’t feel like I can control how many times the thought pops up.

Am I normal
So at one point I was glad I was having anxiety/stress about these thoughts but now I feel like something has changed is it normal to not want anxiety and stress even tho it helps me realize these thoughts are not mine. Like the anxiety and stress is doing me no good and it's really messing me up. Is it normal to not want stress and anxiety after awhile or is something wrong with me
