How do you stop intrusive thoughts from occurring when you are suffering from real-event ocd? My ocd would like to jump to the worst thing imaginable, but at the time, I didn't know any better.😔

I'm very new to this but real event is my biggest theme. I'm struggling today too but when I'm trying to do is not perform any compulsions (googling, seeking reassurance, mental review) until later. I'm telling myself to delay it all until the anxiety subsides and try to focus on something else. Telling myself that I'll come back to it later makes me feel ok about it and by then I may view it with less intensity or feel like I can dismiss it more easily because I've calmed down

I think your aggressivity comes from traumatisms due to past events in your life. You don't have confidence in yourself and certainly blame yourself for things you fucked up on, and what is originally an interesting energy (being aggressive in this world is sometimes necessary) has become a weapon you turned back against yourself. You should share a little bit which are the reasons why you feel so bad. You're not forced to be so accurate you'd feel bad for having shared to much but still its important to spit out your thoughts.

It's just my opinion and I appreciate this app for sharing like this. But I'd say that Ihave to disagree on this fear of spit it out because of the fact that that could potentially create a circle of compulsion. I mean I understand your point but honestly the biggest enemy on ocd is clearly the feeling of being abnormal and different from others. Spit it out is a way of sharing something that weights on our heart (sharing smartly with people we trust, or using this app full of bros and sis ocd let's say). I know that because I've been living with ocd for 22 years now, and I know that it's when I explained how my ocd works to people who cares about me that I could create a really good bond with us and my ocd stopped completely, we even laughed a lot about what I wanted to do even though it was harsh as fuck first to spit my ocd out. My OCD was to smear people I cared about. If I didn't do it it was awful but if I did it, I felt so so bad and guilty, either way I felt sooo bad. It's when I spit this ocd out to one of my friends I trust the most, that I felt nicer and nicer. One day I had to go at my friend's grand parents' house and suddenly I felt so bad I told him "I want to smear the house of your grandparents" he knew my disease, he likes me a lot he looked at me before getting out of his car and told me "Man, smear my grand parents, their house of whatever you wanna smear I absolutely don't give a fuck do what you want". He didn't know at this moment, but He destroyed my compulsions, even my entire ocd. I never did anything in his grandparents house and I was rabout to be free for 4 years after this event. Now I have something with my smartphone but it's another ocd story lol.

And the fact that I shared with 2 or 3 really good friends led them to confess their issues too. That wasn't ocd but that also was weird or harsh. We people having ocd live too much in the feeling that we're ffar from normal so that that's bullshit literally. We're maybe the most normal people finally. It's important to share.
