It is so hard to think about anything else apart from the thoughts feels like I’m so disconnected from life

You are not alone in this, each one of us feel like their brains are stuck in these thoughts. Try not to fight them, judge them, or analyze them. OCD makes us confused not knowing what's real and what's OCD. I wish You peace my friend 🙏🏻
@light💕 Thank you I wish you peace also
From your posts I feel like ruminating is a big compulsion for you. I struggled with pocd theme when my son was a toddler, so I totally resonate with that need to feel like you MUST figure out for certain if your intrusive thoughts are true. Fortunately, if you go in the opposite direction and treat them as unimportant, they become less and less. If you feel open to it… try maybe, maybe not statements. “Maybe I’m a p, maybe I’m not. I may never know for certain” then physically shrug in response like this 🤷🏻♀️ and find something else to do. “Maybe I want to click on that photo of a child because I’m a p, maybe not. I may never know for certain” (Btw this is OCD urging you to do a checking compulsion 🙂 try and take note of when this happens) You can also acknowledge your OCD each time a thought pops up. “Hey, OCD. You’re totally welcome to be here right now AND I’m going to continue doing xyz” This all takes practice, but this theme feels like a distant memory to me now. You’ve got this 💪
@Stay.Fluid I feel like I do ruminate a lot but it’s like it’s the only thing I know and it is so hard to stop like from the minute I open my eyes to the minute I close them I am trying to void my attention else where but even when I do try it’s the only thing on my mind when I go for a drive when I talk to people about something it’s just that on my head then I feel some sort of anxiety because I think if only they knew about these intrusive thoughs how would they feel about me I try the uncertainty thing but not a lot happens at the same time though maybe I’m going wrong because I am not trying hard enough to recover and giving it time for results it’s hard to do anything in life and feel connected because that is on my mind non stop
@Stay.Fluid Like I also try to go in the opposite direction but it feels nearly impossible

@MysticAlien It is debilitating
Im having weird scary pocd thoughts and i really hate them, i feel like theyre my own thoughts and im freaking out
Im tired of knowing that people have blocked me on NOCD for my pocd / real events ocd posts... Im tired of knowing that I have real events that are POCD related... Im tired of getting intrusive thoughts and false memories of the worst case scenario for my pocd and real events ocd being true... Im so tired of it all...
The pocd thoughts are making me want to throw up. I feel like I should end it because i cant handle my brain being right
