Anyone, please help me . My intrusive thoughts are constant. They are horrible violent ones and they are constantly in my head. Does anyone have any method to just suppress them or make them less overpowering.

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

Oops heart thoughts = Harm thoughts! Typo

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

Thank you for this! So grateful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

Hahah that’s good y’all made a joke about it to almost make the ocd look like a fool
