remind yourself that your thoughts will not jinx anything. it’s just your brain trying to stress yourself!! firstly calm yourself down and let those thoughts come thrluhh and accept that they’re just thoughts. thoughts are thoughts and they won’t happen unless you act on it. hopefully it’ll ease you up a bit

What you pointed out is the essence of OCD! “Every time I try and fight it, it seems to prove it even more.” The only way to weaken the grasp of this fear is to stop fighting it. Do your best to accept the uncertainty. When you feel afraid that you might have performed a jinx, resist the urge to disprove it/reverse it/check, and instead move on to a different activity. Your anxiety will go up at first, but it’s worth it for the long term benefits of freeing yourself from this obsession.

I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you
