They are just ocd intrusive thoughts that is exactly what the disordered part of our brain does. Even if the anxiety we get from the thoughts, make us feel real things in our bodies to the core, those feelings are caused by the anxiety, fear, and worry. But the FACT is that they are not real things happening especially if we dont like them which is why we get anxiety over the bad thoughts that we dont like. Its not our fault. Its out of our control and it will always be out of our control, until we seek professional medical help by a therapist, support groups and getting educated on ocd. Even if we cant control the thoughts, we STILL have the control of how we respond to the thoughts, but we can only do that by getting true education about our individual ocd. Take a deep breath, look around, look up to the sky, look outside of the ocd bubble, take a look at your thoughts by looking in from an outside perspective, and realize that they're not real they are just part of what the ocd disorder does, and they dont define you, they are not you, or who you are, then move on even if the thoughts are still there, because remember thats ocd its an obsessive disorder and an obsession will be just that, obsess obsses and obsses so the thoughts will be obsessive. So if we just do the dishes, do a hobbie or something else, the thought may or may not still be there, but eventually it will pass please dont get discouraged keep going IT WILL PASS.

When you try to get away from discomfort, it ironically makes you more uncomfortable. The way you escape this is by adopting unconditional acceptance of everything. “What if I was stuck like this forever”. It’s a very scary thought at first but keep asking yourself why it would be so scary to have these thoughts forever. Over time you learn that it’s okay, and the anxiety goes away completely. You can do this. Stay strong

You’re convinced that you’re living in your own perfect hell…and yet in time you’ll find that the life you want is waiting for you on the other side. I’ve seen it happen in my life and so has anyone who’s kept on fighting no matter what

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

I’m sick and tired of this .
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
