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.

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.”

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before

so I need to get back into ERP, but it’s so hard to manage these thoughts and learn to deal with them. like I swear my mind has to make everything about it. Like every time I clean my room, my mind’s like yup make sure it’s clean so when your parents find you, or something so stupid like if I get a headache, my mind convinces me that I like the pain and that that’s why I get my thoughts because I actually want to do it. It’s so exhausting. Because I know I would never want to take my life and I treasure my life so why does it do it to me? It’s hard to comprehend the fact of these thoughts too because I don’t know many people with this exact theme. It’s such a scary feeling. And I’m constantly questioning whether I have actual depression or if it’s just my OCD. Yes I have been diagnosed with suicidal OCD, but my mind still tries to convince me otherwise. I just don’t know how to let these just sit and pass without panicking.
