Well, I find mine hurts the most near the end of an intense episode/afterwards. I think it’s your brain saying that it’s working much harder than it needs to be over something that it doesn’t need to be worried about! You’re straining your head when you worry, so when it’s extra intense and obsessive (so at a constant for the most part), it doesn’t get much of a break. Your body is practically punishing you because you won’t let it relax. I find it reassuring and use it as a reason to calm myself :-)

Thank you guys, I love reading things like this and knowing I’m not alone ❤️ I have symmetry and ordering sort of OCD and we’ve just redecorated our study in my house and changed every piece of furniture and I’ve just taken over and wanted to be the one to organise it all to make me feel better and I’ve stressed so much by the end internally that I’m now sat in a dark room wanted to cry/cradle my head! But I couldn’t have just let go and let someone else do it! You guys are very reassuring x

I would experience horrible, horrible headaches when I first started having intrusive thoughts a few months ago, so I definitely know what you mean.

@Sarah26 I’m so glad I found this app to be honest! It’s great knowing I am not alone and “crazy”.

Absolutely! It feels like a migraine. I just look at it as my body telling me to stop worrying so much and calm down.

Is it your bodies way of just giving you a break in the midst of it? Cuz right now its much quieter after that episode!

Does anyone like go through waves. Your mind is super silent maybe a couple of thoughts but you are able to brush it off? But then out of nowhere your mind just starts rushing with every thought? If so, how do you cope with this? It drains me.

Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?

Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
