Tell me a hilarious thought you had with OCD
Did you have any intrusive thought that was such absurd that you can laught now about it even maybe it was really terrified for you in that moment?

my weirdest thought with my ocd themes was probably when i engage with people that have ocd and i had this crazy weird thought “what if the people with ocd are just brainwashing you and you don’t have ocd…”
omg probably when i learned about what happened to the dinosaurs as a kid and being *convinced* that we’d get wiped out like them if i didn’t perform a certain ritual lol
Listen to me right know. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS A KID hahaha
@Anonymous Before this I struggled with months with the idea a dinosaur would kill my family then my mind closed the topic and replaced it for that 😭
I was once terrified that I was going to be attracted to a guy that I did not want to be attracted to.. and my fear was that I would have no choice in the matter. Thank goodness that one passed
@Cortina 😭😭 please, but literally same in 2nd grade and I dated him but had nightmares abt him
I had a t-shirt that said OCD (obsessive chocolate disorder) and I had a fear that bc I wore that shirt it made me have OCD
When I was very young I'd think mosquitos were like tiny little vampires and had to wrap myself up so tight in my bedding when I was going to sleep that no skin was on show, only leaving enough space to breathe. My parents would tell me off constantly for it because they'd fear I'd suffocate myself eventually
Demons were coming for me late at night when I couldn’t sleep because I made a comment earlier in the day about my disbelief in god (I had been hearing “house sounds” and convinced myself it was ghosts)
Hi everyone, I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar with OCD and intrusive thoughts. I’ve been struggling during moments of intimacy because intrusive thoughts, particularly ones related to POCD, feel so ‘sticky’—like they’re all I can picture. Even though I really want the thoughts to go away, they persist, and I’ve been trying not to avoid intimacy because of them. However, that makes me feel like I’m somehow ‘enjoying’ the thoughts or images, which I really dislike. It’s like my brain is playing this awful trick, and it’s leaving me feeling confused and gross. I guess I’m supposed to not let the thoughts bother me and continue as if nothing’s wrong, but I’m scared that by doing so, I’m almost training myself to get off to them or something. This fear makes it so hard to trust myself in those moments, and it’s been overwhelming. If anyone else has been through this, how do you handle it?
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
