I'm starting to notice that my Intrusive thoughts gets intense in the mornings and I find it really hard to let go. I usually like to meditate before I start my day, but I find it really hard to. In the end, I just won't do it and it throws me off. How do you cope when your Intrusive thoughts is getting loud?
I believe we are in a similar situation, it's been harder now that I've moved to live on my own and it's just me. I talk to God constantly even if I'm in a horrible mood. It is enough to vent to God to get through the rest of the day and then during the week I throw myself into my job and on the weekends try to go out.
I'm going back to school next week and its different because I'm in a new city and I don't have a lot of friends here. I've been have flare ups through out the whole summer and I think me moving is the reason why. I try my best to do other things that will keep me occupied but it's sometimes hard.
@MandyM Wow I'm in the same situation I'm 26 now and I just feel like I'll never overcome this. Except I moved out of state for work.
@MandyM I'm a horrible person because of my real event in the past and my ocd is latching on to it again. I don't know what to do.

How do I stop letting my intrusive thoughts control me? Ive been having them for almost a year, once I graduated, become more isolated and lost more friends they've become worse. I feel like when I had friends and was still going to school they weren't as bad probably because I was living more so I didn't take them as seriously. But now that Im home all day and alone they've gotten worse and it feels like they're starting to control my life. Theres times where Im on social media and eventually I forget about them but then when I realize I forgot about them they come back. Sometimes the thought just lingers it doesn't even just pop in my head and go away. I can't tell anyone in my family because they'd judge me for the thoughts and they don't really believe in mental illnesses. I also sometimes think of what other people may think of me if they knew the thoughts I had and it makes it worse. How do I stop letting these thoughts control/trigger me and stop reacting or feeling some type of way about them.
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?
Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?
