I had dreams about my intrusive thoughts and I’m disgusted because I was thinking my dreams mean something. Trying to tell me this defines who I am?
Like thoughts, we can't control our dreams. We can change our response to them. Allow it to be what it is, don't assign a meaning to it, don't hyper focus on it. These things do not define us. Allow the uncertainty, learn to live with the uncertainty, even though we don't like it. Allow it to come, and allow it to go. Hope you had a Happy new year!
I’m confused when people say accept your thoughts why would I accept the thoughts that are making me feel disgust and filth what if I start accepting them and then the thoughts actually become true?
something that really bugs me and gets in my head with my rocd is that for most of my relationship i’ve had this nagging anxiety and ocd about it. i can accept my thoughts for the most part, but have this underlying fear that this one could really mean something and that makes me feel guilty! i don’t want to loose her but my mind tells me i do because ive had these thoughts. it’s even coming up in my dreams now! i had a dream last night that i cheated and it made me panic all today and feel so bad and this thought came up again! any advice?
