This can be soooo hard and seem counterintuitive if you haven't heard it before - but try allowing them to be there. Rather than trying to get them to stop or trying to activly get them to go away, try to let them be there. Try to witness it without judgment and you can try first by defusing from the thought a bit. Knowing that you are HAVING a thought - you are HAVING an image. Realizing eventually that this doesn't necessarily mean anything about you or what's going to happen but just that our brains go haywire sometimes.

I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They werenât nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, Iâm suffering. I havenât had a sexual experience in over a year that didnât involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but itâs so bad. I know youâre supposed to ignore them but I donât know how I can just ignore that and continue what Iâm doing. But theyâre 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 itâs not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. Iâm so fucking tired of these thoughts. Theyâre in my every day life too and itâs all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?

I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know itâs 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
