I want to beat my OCD because it’s starting to affect my way of life and messing with me hanging out with friends and loved ones. Does anyone have any good recommendations with helping get rid of intrusive thoughts?
Unfortunately you can't stop them. However, try not to fight them. If you can master not caring or "accepting" them, they will eventually fade with time.
I went through the same thing. It was really tiring and it still can be that way at times. What I can tell you is that this is the goal of ocd, to just continue to put you in a bubble of safety. that being said, remember that your thoughts are just thoughts, they do not mean that they are your values, actually they very often if not always are against your values or what you want. Try to take comfort in that and know that you are not alone. So many people go through this and it is such an isolating feeling. I’m hoping to gain community out of this!
with intrusive thought they are very difficult to go away with OCD but with me I find being in situations that make me feel annoyed (like someone being disruptive and annoying) or stressed (like a new experience for example) make intrusive thoughts more likely to appear so trying to avoid those kinds of situations might help 😁
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
