If you feel something to be so real and like so convincing how do i not bow down to it?!?!!?!? I am tired i want to give up. The thoughts are just always there and sometimes come with force what should i do?!?!

Close your eyes, lay down, take some deep breaths, and just try to relax. Your ocd is just making you super nervous. Let your mind roam wherever. If you think a bad thought, let it remain there and don’t fight it. It’s not real, but fighting it only gives it power. You can get through this!

I don’t know if this relates but When my thoughts become really strong I feel like my brain is being hijacked and I’m losing control over myself and it’s scary. I typically try and distract myself by watching something funny either on tv or on YouTube or even a funny or interesting podcast. Or distract myself by talking to someone I know about something completely random or about their life. I’ve been trying to tell myself that I’ve made it this far and I’m doing the best I can. Your thoughts do not define who you are you are good a valuable person. also I’m willing to listen if you need someone to talk to sometimes facing it head on and getting some compassion from someone in the midst of it is the best thing as well.
