Has anyone told someone their intrusive thoughts and then been terrified of what they think of them later?

Yupp that’s why I don’t really tell anyone about it or at least not my friends

It's hard 😞 I talked to my mom about it and she kept telling me she thought no differently of me but I can't help but think she dles

@Hopeforthefuture Does*

@Hopeforthefuture Oh girl :( you are not those thoughts at all okay! And it doesn’t matter what your mom thinks I understand that some parents aren’t really that open about mental health stuff but just know that you’re not

@kathernyr Yeah, I keep trying to remind myself of that. She was really good to talk to about it actually. Soemtimes I will remember things I told her or someone else a long time ago and feel super anxious about having told them and what they might think. Trying to remember that my thoughts don't define me though

Yes! I’m so scared what my friends think of me now that they know. And my partner too.

If they’re not willing to at least try to learn about it then you deserve someone who will have the capacity to understand you then find someone else who will be there!🤍

Yes! And I’m scared they will tell other people and it will just go around and around /:

Ugh yes! I started obsessing that maybe she told someone! It's the worst!

@Hopeforthefuture Ugh yes! I always make sure my username and profile picture keeps me anonymous but I’m always so scared someone knows me and yeah… ugh :(

@MRR7221 Yes! I have changed them before too 😅 just so people will think I'm different. I also worry that someone I know will get the app and someone recognize me especially because I know a girl from my college has ocd

@Hopeforthefuture Ugh it is so frustrating! We just gotta know it is highly unlikely! But our minds just want to think otherwise :(

I am having trouble with an obsessive thought now but I am too afraid to share it even on here. 😬🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s me literally all the time😭

I've been there so many times!

It’s odd but I think sometimes it is harder to talk about the really odd/ridiculous fears compared to the horrifying fears 🤷🏼‍♀️
