You can have intrusive thoughts about ANYTHING. This is all correct. The thoughts can feel real. They can hit you randomly. OCD just tortures us like that. The brain makes us think thousands and thousands of thoughts a day. We don’t speak about it but everyone even those without OCD have screwed up thoughts and such. It’s just us with OCD, are morals are so high and black and white that we obsess over why we thought them.

Sounds good. Im hanging out with my bff today and looking foward to it. I feel that ocd has robbed me of joy some days. I'm happy I can chat here because i haven't really told anyone details of my ocd. It hard to go it alone. Give yourselves a hug.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. It’s just crazy how fast my brain came up with this random stuff. I think part of it has to do with pms too lol. It always gets way worse then and I feel like I’m losing it. Ifs so hard not to ruminate on it cause It feels so different from the intrusive thoughts I have had before. I’m just gonna push through. Thank you again. It means so much ?

I understand. I’ve had every intrusive thought in the book and it’s a terrifying experience. Heck, I’m not even religious and I’ve had religious ocd plenty of times. OCD makes no sense. It has no logic. We can get from point a to point b. It can even make us physically feel things. (For example, it can make people feel pain and they may obsess that they have cancer, or people with pocd feel groinal responses due to anxiety and it can make them feel scared that they actually are aroused) I wish you luck, and just remember everyone on this app is so nice and supportive and we’re all here.

You are so amazing and so nice for helping! I also think you’re so strong to fight this everyday. Everyone who fights this is so strong??. It’s crazy how deceiving OCD can be. Also how intense the intrusive thoughts feel. For now I’m gonna accept it for what it is, OCD. I’m tired of fighting my brain so I’m just gonna let it do what it wants and not play into it. Thank you so much again?

Omg it's so easy to go down the rabbit hole of despair! But we are strong and can face our fears. I had a wonderful day with my friend. She treated me to an acupuncture treatment. Shoulders back, we can beat this! ❤

I know what you mean when you say it can rob you or joy. I felt that way yesterday. It’s easy to just let the thoughts take over then to actually fight the compulsions and let the thoughts be. I don’t talk a lot about my OCD either. Only a couple people in my family know. It is so hard to feel like you are alone. If you ever need to chat about it I’m here! You can just come to this post and we can work it out together. Don’t forget how strong you are, OCD likes to tell you your not but you are so unbelievably strong. You wake up to fight this everyday. You’re amazing! Have fun with your BF and tell the intrusive thoughts to fuck off cause that’s what I’m gonna do today???

How do you get through your episodes?
Hi everyone I’m new here and well today was a very hard day for me… so a couple months ago out of no where my brain just went poof literally to not get so much into detail I experienced a lot of things but during that whole process I developed intrusive thoughts of hurting my self or others its been going on since December I knew someThing was off so I went for professional help Ive been working very hard in recovering now those intrusive thoughts aren’t the problem as much because I figured out what was the trigger (I think) but now it’s more obsessing over religion and spirituality and what’s real and what’s not and it makes me panic and creates panic attacks and just kind of makes my episodes a lot worst… so I would like to know if anyone has experienced this? How do get through it? How do you talk yourself out of it?

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?

Help
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.
