i’ve done that too for some stupid reasons but yeah it can be ruminations. once i was at the hospital and i wasn’t being let in the ER fast enough bc my heart rate calmed down so i started ruminating on things bc i thought maybe that would get my heart pumping, then i realized that was stupid and stopped but a few days later i started ruminating on WHY i did that it was a big mess 😭

I had a horrible intrusive thought last night and I just happened to think about it on purpose trying to calm myself down I guess and I was just wondering if that was considered ruminating. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Ocd sucks

I have been ruminating on why I have been having intrusive thoughts on a specific topic. Anyone know why? Where do they come from? It freaks me out and makes me think that it came from a real memory (I struggle with false memory OCD)

I wanted to ask if it is possible to purposely think of an intrusive thought and then shifting your mind instantly to something else? Is it still an intrusive thought if you have been thinking of it 'purposely' for a second? I dont know how else to explain it, but it felt like I was purposely thinking of it. Anyone else had similar experience what happened during intimate moments like masturbation I feel so ashamed cuz the thoughts are so bad they're either about family members children and stuff like that it feels like I think it I just want to know if I'm not alone I feel like a monster because it feels like I thought these things or like I did think these things and I don't know what to do I feel so ashamed and grossed I need help I just want to know if anyone had a similar experience to shed light on because I don't know I feel so isolated

Please how can an intrusive thought be distinguished from our own thoughts ?
