Mines not exactly like abuse like that but I will LIGHTLY tap the fron of my forehead like to get the negative energy away I guess ? And I am religious tho so I will also do the cross thing where it’s like forehead chest shoulder to shoulder if you know what I mean ? And then I’ll say affirmations on what it could be about like if it’s sm about someone getting hurt I’ll say sm like “ _____ is safe and protected. I am not manifesting my intrusive thoughts. I am calm and I am able to ease myself easily “

Ever since my mother passed away i always check on my father to see if he is ok but since he is the only one that lives with me it feels like all the negative thoughts are being focused on him and i hate it

@CrimsonRaven I’m so sorry for your loss🥺🤍but I totally get checking up on him. It makes sense and that’s something that I feel like is for sure scary so I can’t imagine. But I’d just say a prayer or do affirmations everyday or anytime it occurs. Personally that really does help me but idk if it would help you or not): like “ my dad is safe and healthy “

@CrimsonRaven Well I feel like that too sometimes! Like I always have a certain ritual I have to do when I pray so I don’t as often even though I want to): but I’d start off by sayijg thank you for what I have. And then then like forgiveness Bc I’ve felt like I’ve done so many things wrong or sm that I want to make sure I’m like okay and realized my mistakes? Idk? And then ask for whatever I am wanting. But a little tip. If someone came to you. With your problems for WHATEVER reason you don’t think you deserve to be asking for stuff. Like a bestfriend or even your dad. If they told you why the feel like they don’t deserve that would you tell them they don’t ? Would you tell them they don’t deserve to have what they asked for / want ? Idk if that makes sense but we are always so much harder on ourselves and for what? So sometimes take a step back and even look at situations in like a 3rd person POV because you wouldn’t treat someone you care and love for sometimes the way we do ourselves. That’s helped me a lot I hope it helps you!

Intrusive thoughts of Hurting others
I have this issue where I can vividly imagine hurting others or animals or say things OUTLOUD that may be disruptive or disrespectful becauss I am overstimulated by soemthing someone is doing or saying. So, Over stimulation with people and animals and things they do can be a big part of it, Sometimes I will see soemthing that bothers me about someone and I just want to either fix it or hit them because they make me so overstimulated I just want to hit the problem. I never act on these things obviously but SOMETIMES it leaks out and I hit my hands together to calm the urges. I really don’t like imagining hurting others but when I get mad I obsess over what I would or could do to them or might or would’ve in a situation in the past, had it planned out differently. I keep thinking about it and thinking about it and then get upset with myself because I know it’s wrong to be thinking about hurting others and it worries me I may someday act on something impulsive and harm someone. Sometimes I cry about it because I never want to hurt people. Really I don’t. Most of these thoughts happen in milliseconds and I have a second part in my brain like a THOUGHT processor/auto corrective thinking reminding me I can’t do that because it’s morally wrong and I am too good of a person to do that and there is nothing to stress over.

How do ya’ll deal with thoughts?
I’m a bit curious, I’ve come up with many ways to handle them, I don’t have therapy, but how do ya’ll deal with them? Is it normal to come up with other compulsions to kinda just tame them? Or to convince yourself they’re not real? I’ve had different ways of handling them, but most times I get obsessed with the way of handling it or the thought that helps me beat the bad/concerning/thoughts to the point it just stops working and I need to find a more effective thought, compulsion or thing.

i guess i’m just needing reassurance..
but is it OCD if when i get a thought that makes me anxious i have to hit my head a certain number of times to get it out of my head to relive my brain that everything is fine now (doesn’t always help though). or am i just being dramatic?
