Hey look on the bright-side you went a decent amount of time without getting them, which means you will bounce back and get there again. Trust me we all relapse, I had a solid year of no thoughts that then followed a horrible 3-4 months of thoughts and anxiety everyday. However each time you relapse I feel like you definitely learn and get stronger. Trust me you will get better, just stay strong and maybe go to talk therapy or the psychiatrist and seek input. Nothing wrong with that!

Hahah yepp, I’ve been there before. I would get anxious or get a thought and be like “that’s ocd” and it would just stay there and make me feel bad. I learned to accept that and say hey some days this disease is going to make me feel “off” or not myself but I can still manage and stay productive and each night I review all the stuff I accomplished even though I felt bad and I genuinely feel proud. Keep going!

@anna:) yep definitely another sign of OCD, you said “confused” that’s a clear sign OCD is in full effect. Just accept the fact your confused say “okay I don’t know how to feel about this” or just note the feeling and say “this feeling is confusing” but don’t judge it or look too much into it. When u make it personal u begin to think u have to change something when in reality the feeling will go away on its own with time.

Yepp I know exactly what you’re feeling. I used to think “am I always going to have these thoughts” and “will I ever be happy” and the thing is people with OCD are generally happy it’s just these thoughts that cause us to have anxiety and become unhappy. Shift your focus so the next time the thought occurs don’t answer it. Just note the thought and shift your focus to the present moment try thinking about what your eating, smelling, touching, etcc... that should bring u back to earth a bit and out of the cycle.

Idk how I can go on living with these thoughts
It seems like every time I feel that I have an understanding of my intrusive thoughts and an understanding on how to deal with them I’m hit with a new and weirder intrusive thoughts that send me spiraling on what it means. I constantly search up the intrusive thoughts that I have to see if anyone online had a similar thought and that usually works and I calm down but there are a few time where the thought just feels too unusual and idk how to deal with it.

I need guidance or to feel like I am not alone
I was doing so much better with my OCD. I thought I finally figured it out. However, the last two weeks have been a nightmare. It’s like I went from 0-100 all over again. And it’s become scarier than it ever has been. Every other thought is either causing me anxiety or turning into an intrusive thought. Any headache or feeling of derealization, and I start to spiral. My thoughts are becoming more gruesome and feeling more real. The intrusive urges are so bad it feels like at any moment I could actually just snap. It feels like I am about to go crazy. Another hard aspect is when I’m getting these intrusive urges it feels like I want to do it or I don’t care if I do it. I don’t feel like myself. I feel like this disgusting monster who is just going to lose it and I want it to be over. Why is this happening when I was finally better? It makes me feel like it’s not OCD and I’m actually this person and I’m just holding my true self back. I’m sick to my stomach.

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
