I know what you mean. I feel like the erp process and all the unconditional self acceptance is just leading me to agree with the thoughts and trying to think that what I fear the most is okay to happen. But I’ve learned that this process is just to show ourselves that thoughts are just thoughts, that they don’t mean the thoughts will bring action in the future. I know, harder to process, get through and truly understand. I’m still struggling with it myself
Thank you:( yes exactly, it is so hard. But I believe we can do this, it is just our brain doing everything to get our attention, but we must not fall for it! Much love :)
The best thing you can do is to accept the thoughts as just thoughts and try to agree with them even if your heart tells you otherwise. It’s a long process with many ups and downs. Once you feel like your thoughts are ridiculous and the next minute they really get to you and you feel like they are you. Try to keep yourself busy and practice self love. It’s really scary and it feels real sometimes.
Thank you so much, yes it is really crazy and scary, but thank you for the advice I’ll try my best, wish u the best <3
All I could do was cry about your post😥
I’m sorry, didn’t mean to make you cry 😭
im crying hard right now im so scared. i haven’t cried like this or really at all since the thoughts started happening… im so scared im gonna act on them. i just want it all to stop..
I have been dealing with intrusive thoughts for a long time, and while most of them don’t affect me anymore, there are ones that really concern me and make me feel panic. They make me feel like I could actually act on the intrusive thought and I’m just holding myself back from it. It’s really scary and I don’t know who I am anymore.
