I do everyday, I get bad ones and whenever I walk past a person my ocd tells me to push them or hit them or something. It’s worse when I drink, the second I have one drink my thoughts get so much worse and then the next day I convince myself I did something bad and can’t remember
@Ih8ocd! it's so annoying ! ! even if i just sit in bed & lay down i can just hear these thoughts screaming, i also have these thoughts & they're so frustrating.
@guts Yup, there’s days where I don’t leave the house cause I know I might get an instruct thought that will affect me for the next few days because I’ll think ‘what if I actually carried it out and don’t remember’
@Ih8ocd! i hope you learn how to reassure yourself :( i wish you the best, i don't drink myself but false memory is so scary.
Every day. I just try to work through it but it’s impossible for me. Like I get emotional exhaustion and brain fog like crazy. I feel chronically burned out.
@Vee <3 exactly 😕 i'm so exhausted & drained like give us a break. damn
@guts This sounds horrible but when I get thoughts about doing something to a kid and I feel it and I get stressed I just try to tell it to shut up and I ignore it. I just find them like a rage-baiter. There’s no point in fighting them because I’ll never get satisfaction of finding out the true meaning. Sometimes I can’t let it go when it’s something new but when it’s something so repetitive I just try to fight the compulsion to review or to keep focusing on it.
@SAGUI yeah i do so too most of the time, i sometimes hit myself / something (not someone) if it gets too much because it makes me SO MAD ! ! some time ago it got much better with my POCD so i don't do compulsions for that anymore, but now i struggle with new theme's & the compulsions are just everywhere.
@guts Yes. I hit myself for a while until my parents told me to stop. Like, I was getting very criticized and to be honest I thank them for it because my forehead started hurting a lot.
@SAGUI yeah i also get such weird headaches due it, i'm glad you stopped!

@tuffaden same i can't properly talk sometimes due the thoughts
@tuffaden it's not only intrusive thoughts i have more things wrong with me so this isn't only because of the thoughts, i forgot to mention 💔💔 but i just have them so much that i can't properly talk sometimes or atleast think straight.
@tuffaden not anymore but i'm going to ask again soon, they are for my psychosis though. i'm unsure which meds are recommended for me now.
@tuffaden i get my diagnosis hopefully soon but i have a lot it's genuinely killing me they suspect me with more than 6 disorders +audhd 😭😭 they also don't even know some issues that i experience because it's so uncommon & complex bruh. thankyou for your sympathy i'm Tearing upp...
@tuffaden thankyou you deserve the world ♥︎ i truly hope you will feel better aswell because no matter what you have it's such a hell of an experience. the healthcare is pretty great i'd say :) it's just a huge mess due to my parents & me being an adult. 🙁 i hope you'll be able to get therapy soon or atleast some more support 💕🦭
@tuffaden i can share it to you on insta if that's ok we don't have dms here 💔 otherwise i can just give tldr
@tuffaden they care for me but they really struggle with my needs & understanding me, they're really against me having therapy atleast from this center. they don't rlly believe i'm so mental LFMAO
@guts abt my age it's more a personal mess
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts
sometimes my brain is thinking of every thought you could have all at once and it makes me insane and i keep telling myself in my head to shut up and i try to stop thinking but it doesn’t stop
