A big compulsion of mine is constantly telling myself to shut up (you know my thoughts) and I’ve tried to not let myself do that and let the thoughts just be and not follow them. The crazy thing is I had immediate relief but at the dame time it’s so hard. IT DOESNT ADD UP

completely normal, when you tell them to shutup they get more aggressive 

It’s only a compulsion if you HAVE to tell it that 

Saying “shut up” to your intrusive thoughts is a compulsion?

If you HAVE to do it than yes and I feel as though I HAVE to do it 

I was told not to address them in that way that they only get worse when you do 🤷
