Same way you stop other obsessive thoughts, you don't. That's the easy answer, haha but hear me ou+t. You can't control your thoughts no one can, but we can control how we react to our thoughts, should we worry and pay attention to every thought? No of course not. Even you disregard thoughts that aren't about your theme without even thinking about it, when you get attached to a thought you tell your brain that it is important and your brain keeps it on loop. The way to break this cycle is you do nothing to neutralize this thought, you just let it be you don't analyze it you just see it there and go about your day, the thought will go away, it will come back but the more you disregard it the less frequent it becomes and the less anxious it makes you, eventually you get to a point where the thought might come up but it won't bother you, don't try to justify the thought or argue with it, it's only a thought, a brain fart lol best of luck friend, God bless you, this world is way too real to be a dream. God loves you just as you are.

You don’t stop the intrusive thoughts but you can choose to not pay them any attention, which in turn will lower their frequency and intensity! OCD feeds on attention, which is where compulsions come in. If we keep ruminating, focusing, etc on the fears and questions that OCD gives, in your case thoughts about the world and being in a dream, then we continue to be stuck in the cycle. I have similar fears at times with maybe being in a dream or that nothing around me is real (also known as Existential OCD), but I have to learn to be okay with the uncertainty of “maybe I am in a dream, maybe I’m not”, ERP helps a lot with this. Taking away the power from OCD in that you don’t do the compulsions will make the fears less and less scary and over time it won’t pop up as often or even at all. I hope this helps!

@Hocd_sufferer Same as with any theme, refuse compulsions, disregard thoughts and feelings, stand up to the bully, ocd will run when you face it. Your libido will come back to normal but don't rush back to things, you have ocd treat it first. Good luck God bless you friend.

I don't know what to do anymore, the fear of psychosis and schizophrenia is so bad in so hyper aware of everything I hear and everything I see, I've always had eye floaters now I convince myself that it's really me hallucinating, I've always had tinnitus but now I'm convinced it means I'm going to go crazy soon, I can't sit in quiet because all I'm focusing on is what I'm hearing, and searching for any sounds I can't distinguish, when there's background noise I get so anxious if I think I heard something but im not sure I did or I'm just anxious, I'm terrified I'll start having delusions and sometimes my brain confuses some sounds for other sounds for example say I'm hyper focused and I breathe and my nose makes a whistling sound my mind interprets it as a scream and I freak out thinking I'm hallucinating only to focus closer and realize it's my own breathing, earlier I was so anxious that I couldnt tell if I had an intrusive thought or heard something, I don't know how to make it stop, I've been through this theme before I just forgot how hard it was I'm having a panic attack please help

My OCD has been terrible the for the past two weeks. I have a fear that I will never be able to get out of the thought loop. I am hyper aware of my thoughts and it disturbs me. I haven’t been able to eat for 10 days. I force myself. I haven’t been able to sleep for more than a couple hours. Then I wake up and ruminate for a couple hours, until I’m exhausted. I’m also afraid I’ll never sleep well again. And I’m afraid I’ll never eat and enjoy my food again. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to stop thinking about this enough to enjoy my family ever again.
