I’m battling with this at the moment constantly questioning my thoughts. An intrusive thought happens and I’ll automatically think NO and shake my head but then question if I actually mean no ??♀️ sometimes I get a thought and don’t get as much anxiety as I usually do and then think well, if I’m not get anxiety it must be a bad thing. It’s a viscous circle. I get mental compulsions too because of it. I guess deep down we all know it’s OCD but the joy of having it is that it will always make us feel we are what we fear and part of our mind is stuck always stuck there.
Perfectly describe ahah ! be strong
Accept the voice that tells you that you want it, the more you suppress it the more the thoughts will come to you anyway, by accepting it you eventually learn to not approach the thoughts with fear and your mind will slowly stop obsessing
okay but i am afraid that if I accept this thoughts, little by little I will agree to them, and don’t see anything wrong with having thoses thoughts. But yes I have to practice the unconditionally acceptance :) !
@abcd33 So yes. It will be apart of the process. You will feel like it's becoming your identity; it's apart of the healing process. Just know that I'm doing this and my intrusive thoughts are not creating as much distress for me. I'm wishing you the best during your recovery! :)
You’re on the right track with angel and devil talking. Ultimately it’s not to listen to either but to merely accept that they’re there. They show up, start blabbing, and you can simply say oh hi and acknowledge their existance and move on. It really just comes down to you. Trust YOUR voice. I started treatment recently and find myself talking out loud when an intrusive thought comes into my head. I’m like “it’s just a thought. It’s here and that’s okay.”

Does anyone else struggle with knowing which thought or voice is from god or if it’s just your ocd?
Constantly struggle with the battle between saying ‘thoughts are just thoughts and OCD thoughts are ego-dystonic so you know they don’t represent who you are’ and the acceptance route of ‘it’s just a thought, maybe it means something, maybe it doesn’t me - in my mind I’m like ‘well if it maybe means something then how can it be ego dystonic?’ - I really need help getting my mindfulness together!
Does anyone else have problems of doubting what if it’s not ocd and what if and I actually want this if so what do I tell it when it does ??
