Keep going and expose yourself to your thoughts! You got this. Prove to your anxiety that it’s not actions and just thoughts.

Hi OcdFreakboy, as Jesse said these are just intrusive thoughts. You are not your intrusive thoughts, they can come completely out of the blue and may be contrary to anything you have ever done or thought before. ERP is the best way to make progress and keep the OCD bully in check as much as possible. No matter what the obsessions, It’s all about exposure, not giving into your compulsions and getting comfortable with not giving definitive answers to whatever your OCD is latching on to and moving forward with life. You can do this, stay strong and best wishes.

And now reflecting it ???

Help!
My brain will not stop with the intrusive thoughts. I keep going through my little mantra in my head how I won't do the things I am thinking and how I hate my thoughts. I am trying to watch YouTube and tell myself just to avoid it and not let the thoughts bother me. I know my thoughts are false because I hate thinking these things but I just feel like I am losing this battle. Any tips?
