I have struggled with these weird thoughts too. Our brains are meant to think of everything and anything even the crazy ideas. The only reason why you’re so focused on them is because they bother you. I’m not trying to reassure you because I know that makes things worse but I’m just letting you know that I am right there with you. Still follow your dreams. You’re not your OCD you just have OCD. Sending positive vibes?

And when you think one thought is done the next one comes... that's true though, that's what makes the mind so interesting I guess. That's so true, it's not the thought that's the problem, it's giving it attention. I am glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this on this app haha. I am thank you, regardless of the ocd I WILL follow my dreams, I won't let this take it from me. Thanks for the positive words, I got out today and feel much better already. :)

I know right! What an annoying disorder??. I do music myself and I feel like the last couple weeks I could've been progressing so well but this OCD is pushing me back so much! And I don't know to end up being a "could've been" and want to achieve my dreams and my goals!

I think we need to treat it as a bully, because I think this will help us remember who We really are and start to ignore the ocd thoughts - and in turn treat them as they just are. Random thoughts.

It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between a thought and reality. That's whatmakes this suck so much. I just push trhough it and try to keep busy. Actually I think although it's difficult sometimes it's very important to still persue your dreams and go on with life as normal as possible. Otherwise like you said you feel shitty about that too haha giving up on a dream etc..

Awh it's nice to hear you are feeling better! Yeah me too, I just finished at the gym to clear my head and I feel 10x better. I think sometimes we all just need to come back to earth, go for a walk, go hang out with friends. It reminds us we are not alone and we are connected to the world

for the past few years i have been struggling with a certain theme of ocd as well as most of the other themes. but this one i have not figured out a good way to do my own form of erp or non-engaging responses. basically i will be daydreaming or thinking and have a very random thought. i wouldn’t call these thoughts intrusive thoughts because it’s not necessarily fear of the thoughts coming true, its just fear that my thoughts are too unique. my ocd will latch on to random or weird thoughts and may also add in that i was doing something weird while doing the thought. let’s say for example i thought of something random while i was rubbing my feet. then my ocd would be like “why are u having such a unique thought while doing something weird? nobody has ever thought about that specific thought while rubbing their feet before” (just an example). but basically it’s like my ocd bullies me for having thoughts that are too random and things i’ve never heard people talk about before if that makes sense. i am just trying to see if anyone relates even a little and how i can accept that everyone has unique thoughts.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Hi guys! I had really bad harm ocd about 2 years ago and I went through therapy and eventually got really good at handling it when it would pop up. The other day, I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a girl talking about a guy who was presenting a lot of schizophrenic symptoms but no one paid attention and got him help, he was having a lot of delusions, hallucinating, thinking everyone was out to get him, thought he was Jesus and his dad was the president and ended up doing horrific things. The day after that, I was dealing with some work drama and had the thought of “what if all my coworkers are against me and trying to get me fired”. That really stressed me out, cause I don’t normally think about them like that and I went down a rabbit hole of thinking that was the beginning of me developing schizophrenia, ended up googling stuff all night, taking tests, crying and seeking reassurance. I had a thought the other day “your dad is the president”, this one didn’t stress me out as bad as I knew it was just the video I had seen and it was an intrusive thought about it, and I also didn’t believe it. Today I was with some friends and I got a prize at a place we went and it said “lonely” on it. I do have my moments of feeling lonely and this week has been specifically trying so I had a thought like “oh someone’s out to get me cause I got this”. I know this isn’t logical and it wouldn’t make sense to just randomly get it if someone was truly after me and it was just a stupid prize at a random place, anyone could’ve gotten it. Im just struggling a lot with schizophrenic OCD and thinking I’m in the pre stages of it. In my good moments, I don’t think I am at all and it was all just sparked from the video I watched but in my bad moments, these thoughts feel real!! They really stress me out and make me feel like I’m going to lose my mind causing me to lose my job/ end up in a psych hospital/ never live a normal life/ end up alone, never see me my loved ones/ hurt my loved ones. I just want to feel normal and not like I’m about to lose my mind and everything I care about. Please help!!! Anyone else going through something similar and can help me get through this!
