Yeah, I’m gonna have to just sit with the thoughts and let them float by and hope this theme doesn’t last too much longer

I don’t know if this happens to you but with each theme I think, “ugh, I just want any of other theme but this”. It’s like a continuous viscous cycle

Yep. When you’ve got one theme you think another would be fine. When I had harm them see I wished it was something else because then everyone else would be “safe”. Now that it’s fears of psychosis I wish I was harm again at times.

Ignore it when the themes change don’t use this as a reassurance but when the the themes change then that’s a good sign I heard I guess since the ocd was you to be scared so it will do everything in its power to but you can pay attention to it or else you will prolly get multiple ocds trust me I know I had hocd and I still do but on a good day I get harm ocd but I ignore it and it will go away. Again don’t try to stop the thought but accept it and do something productive

Lmao I don’t know about this one. I was watching a movie about concussions and mental health and my anxiety started playing tricks on me and playing false memories like I had multiple concussions when I was younger and played sports and now I am developing CTE. CTE results from repetitive blows to the head and basically makes people go crazy. I even asked my mom if I ever had a concussion and she said she didn’t think so. But I just can’t shake the fear.

I have a psychosis fear a few times too but it’s just bull and yeah in my opinion I think religion ocd is prolly the worst I don’t even know how to do erp for that and so is harm is the worst but I have no idea and do you ever get scared that you might develop an other ocd? like I am scared that I might get a cleaning obsession cause I seen the people who have it and it really takes a toll on their lives like they are not even able to hug their own mother and that is just sad and I hope I never get that

I have different types of ocd, like sometimes I get the cleaning and the organizing but it doesn’t take over and consume me. My ocd has always centered around health and mental illness ocd. A few months ago the theme was melanoma lol

Right now I read a post about depersonalization and derealization and I hope I don’t trigger anxiety in you but do you have any information about it?

@chriscool Yes I’ve had that before when I felt like my surroundings were a dream or that I wasn’t really alive. It was a very weird feeling and didn’t bother me too much but I just did grounding techniques and focused on things around me to take me back to the present. It’s just anxiety and it won’t harm you.

@Myka Ok so it won’t make me crazy right? And if I do the grounding technique how long will it take? And what is the grounding techinque? And I am sorry for asking a lot of questions and asking for reassurance but I don’t want to have a theme over this so please explain

@chriscool No, it won’t make you crazy. Like having a panic attack, those are extremely uncomfortable but they’ll never hurt you. Well everyone is different so what worked for me may not work for you in the moment. Grounding techniques are things to do to bring you back to the present . For example, focusing on something around you for a few minutes or pointing out 5 things around you and describing them out loud to refocus your mind to something else. I also do 4 square breathing and that usually immediately calms me down. Inhale for 4, hole for 4, breathe out for 4. Try those and see if it helps!

@Myka And I have one more question and I will stop bugging you but will any of this ocd or any type just ruin you like you know how people in the army are traumatized and don’t come back home the same do you know if that will ever happen like if I do recover will ever be the same and be able to have the sam imagination?

@chriscool It’s not a bother at all. I totally understand what you are experiencing. I am not too familiar with ptsd but I don’t think ocd would affect your brain in the same way. Ptsd typically results from a trauma and reliving that tramautic event from a trigger. Whereas ocd just attaches to your fears and goes against your morals ie, causing physical harm to someone. I have read that chronic stress can alter the way you think but I think if you just use tools you are given to challenge the ocd, you will notice that while the ocd May never fully go away, it won’t consume you as much and you will be able to blow off the thoughts. Think of ocd as an annoying teenage girl that needs constant attention. I think about it and it makes me laugh lol

I had the religion where I had the fear of possession but then I used a lot of self talk like “ok well if you were possessed, you wouldn’t be going about your normal day to day at work”. That’s when I know the rational part of my brain is still there

What is the worst theme you guys deal with? And what intrusive thoughts come with it? This is totally a judgment free zone
