help😭

take a shot every time i say “again” lol

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way 😞mine have been pretty bad the last couple of weeks due to life stressors. At least I think. I don’t even know anymore. But you got this! Are you seeing a therapist?

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time with your intrusive thoughts. It sounds incredibly hard, but remember, you've made it through before, and you're stronger than you think. 💪 I'm not an OCD expert, especially when it comes to managing intrusive thoughts, but I can share some resources that have been helpful for me, if that's okay with you. You might find the OCD Reddit a good place to connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges. It's a supportive community where you can share your experiences and get advice from people who really understand what you're going through. Also, I want to tell you about "unstuck OCD therapy tools." It's a new app that my NOCD therapist recommended. It gives you AI-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. It's been a game-changer for me, helping me to manage moments just like the one you're describing. Hang in there. You're not alone in this. 🌟

How many times do you have intrusive thoughts? Is it weekly? Daily? Hourly? Minutes at a time? Im new on here and Im looking to talk to others that have intrusive thoughts. My IT happen frequently throughout the day. I am not on medication so I rely on my rituals. Prayers and words. I say the word LIE in my head and outloud. This works for a while. But the thoughts dont go away. They slow down maybe. Sometimes I say "Go away" and they do go away. For a few minutes. I cant believe Ive been doing this for so many years. I hope you know that you are not alone. At the very least just know you're not the only one. I do hope we can both find help.
