Imagine your intrusive thoughts as an overzealous street performer desperately vying for your attention. This performer pulls out all the stops - juggling flaming swords, contorting into impossible shapes, and even attempting risky stunts. Their act is designed to shock, awe, and provoke a reaction from passersby. However, you're a savvy spectator. You recognize this performance for what it is - an elaborate show with no real substance or danger. Instead of gasping, applauding, or tossing coins into their hat, you simply observe with detached amusement. You know that engaging with the performance will only encourage more outrageous acts and drain your time and energy. As you continue your walk, resisting the urge to react, you find that the performer's antics fade into the background. Soon, you turn a corner, leaving the noisy spectacle behind, and are rewarded with a serene, quiet street where you can enjoy your own thoughts in peace

Someone told me that I shouldn't be trying to ignore them and more accepting of them which I know sounds bad or like impossible, but if you can't change what you think then you gotta accept how you think and feel and overtime that acceptance will make the thought weaker and it will go, I've been trying to do the same and it has been working and going away for longer periods of time, I think the main thought and feeling that "accepts" the thought or thoughts your having is by thinking "so what" like "what if that does happen, or I am this person" in a non worrying way, like you wouldn't care either way, basically not caring for your fears and being like okay if they did happen or they are true

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They werenât nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, Iâm suffering. I havenât had a sexual experience in over a year that didnât involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but itâs so bad. I know youâre supposed to ignore them but I donât know how I can just ignore that and continue what Iâm doing. But theyâre 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 itâs not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. Iâm so fucking tired of these thoughts. Theyâre in my every day life too and itâs all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Recovery not working
so right now my HOCD feels EXTREMELY LOUD AND STRONG, ive been trying nonstop today stating how im allowing to feel all the thoughts and feelings and let them be here for as long as they want and not figure it out, engage with it, just allowing it to be here all day long if it wants, and it has, but the EXTREME hyperfocus is there and it feels so real and feels so loud and strong that im focusing on it and trying to move on to others but cant. Ive been trying say only once that"Its just my OCD, these thoguths feelings, sensations and doubts are not me, im going to allow it to stay here as long as it can" but that doesnt work, its like as if im full of shit and i know it. ive been trying to just saying"oh well" or "cool" not caring, but im still hyperfocus on it, wtf?
