I have to say this simple statement that I just read from you to ignore them and not to give into them was very helpful for me because I have been looping for two days with my heart and thoughts and they are so unbelievable and they want to pull you in like a river that is out of control and once you get in it’s very hard to get out of them and I mistakenly started thinking about one thought yesterday and it led me into a rabbit hole of disaster and all I’ve been feeling is guilt and failure and like everything is over because of that occurrence they are just so difficult to stay away from but I love what you said. Definitely helped to remind me that I am not alone with us and the above person is not alone either and it’s just a constant battle it feels like to have a good day despite the things that go on in our minds.🙏🏻

It is so hard but you have to just try to ignore them. Don’t give in the thoughts because then you give it the power to keep going in your head

Yes!! And sometimes I have my bad days where I just feel weaker than others, but I’ve had ocd since I was in 3rd grade and now I’m 21.. so I’m at the stage in my life where I really don’t want to be bothered anymore with negativity, even if it includes my thoughts. I feel like as the years go on, I’m loosing energy and it’s starting to even scare me so I’m really just forcing myself to enjoy the little things and try not to overthink on things that I know will get me overthinking it the whole day and over analyzing. I’m glad that simple statement helped you. It is definitely easier said than done but it takes practice. And I think the key is to not overthink it or make it complicated. Just make it what it is. Don’t give in the thoughts. Don’t overthink it

Humor. I told my therapist I was having thoughts of stabbing and cutting off his head and he said you better use a sharp. Knife I don’t want it to hurt as much! It comforted me and made me laugh bcuz he knew it was just ocd

Trying not to think of intrusive thoughts
I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you

Anyone have any suggestions?
I have intrusive thoughts about pornography with family, friends or even strangers. I really tried to block them out but it seems they always get triggered.l feel extreme guilt and this massive pit in my stomatach that is just there 24/7 and it WONT GO AWAY! I know this may sound weird but my mum knows about this as she noticed something was wrong, but every time I get a thought I always feel the need to tell her i keep thinking that I have done something wrong and that my guilt will go away if i tell BUT IT DOESN’T It just gets worse and another thing pop in and another. ITS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE and it seems like I just can’t break free. What do I do? Anyone who has also gone through this how did you recover and get your life back?
