Breathe…. It sucks. I’ve been there. You’ve created a strong ocd loop, but the good news is you can undo it. Idk how familiar you are with ocd, and how all this works but listen and trust me. You’re gonna be ok. This isn’t your forever. Do you have a plans to start therapy? In the mean time search for disgusting thoughts in the group search bar. You’ll Learn your not alone and see lots of helpful info to get you started
Bro if I ever get better its gonna be thanks to u 🥹u are so nice on my posts thank u so much. I am in therapy i actually went today. She tells me its not my fault and stuff like that and she tries to get me to talk about specific thoughts which im assuming is like exposing me to it. I've been experiencing this for around a year now and after a month into it I found out about ocd and have been researching since but since January ive felt so much worse and like all of my progress last year litterally got wiped out so now I jusr feel like the real evil things im scared of being
@ilbgm One book in addition to the freedom from OCD one I found helpful for intrusive thoughts was “overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts” it gave me a step by step strategy for when these pop up, which is about resisting the urge to fight them and suppress them. Instead, say to yourself: 1) “I acknowledge that I am having an intrusive thought” 2) “I accept and allow all such thoughts” (since thoughts do not equal action, they’re just thoughts 3) “I am floating and feeling” and allow yourself to feel the fear or disgust without digging in and trying to resolve it and 4) “I am letting time pass” and as time passes you will move on. The fighting or reassurance to yourself about the thoughts is what keeps bringing them back stronger again and again. Giving yourself this playbook to let the feeling sit and let time pass made my intrusive thoughts almost entirely go away.
