Intrusive thoughts are relentless
Pleaseeeee Lord make this stop

I don't know if this will be helpful or not. But I sort of had the epiphany that I can treat the intrusive thoughts like I do a really realistic bad dream. Like those dreams are the WORST, but I am able to downplay how real they felt. Your intrusive thoughts are not real, they do not define you. You can't keep a bird from flying over your head, but you can keep it from making a nest.
U not alone just woke up and devastating to feel this way
The only damage those thoughts will do is to our own well-being. The bad things the thoughts suggest are just something we do to torment ourselves due to our OCD. I wonder what causes our OCD to effect us this way.
Does anybody elses intrusive thoughts feel so real that you are starting to think it's you. These thoughts are starting to feel like there coming from me and I'm not sure what to do. I can't seem to find peace and I'm always in despair I'm trying to focus on God but it's so hard I feel so disconnected from him and scared I'm gonna lose my soul. I can't even pray without intrusive thoughts trying to trick me into thinking I'm not even praying to God. I'm really worried and confused about were these thoughts are coming from I'm starting to feel numb and I'm scared I'm gonna make God mad or something.
I don’t really wanna go into detail about what it’s about cause I feel like it’s super embarrassing, but there’s this one specific type of intrusive thought I get that I struggle extremely with ignoring/sitting in discomfort with. Does anyone have tips for managing something like this?
it got bad once again.. im so tired
