Please I'm very sad (about daydreaming)
Do someone here daydreaming and notice it goes wrong? And you getting so much anxiety and start thinking about it...? Like do you start thinking you did on purpose?

I daydream a lot, whenever I’m in a bad spot I don’t because it hurts to daydream but I understand what you mean. Makes everything worse

@Lizzie Scheav Sometimes it’s an escape but if the anxiety comes through or something bad happens I’m straight back into reality

You mean you daydream but you get thoughts you don't want and it tries to say that you were thinking those thoughts on purpose? Something like that?

Yes! Because I was daydreaming and an image/plot triggered me and it came so fast and I was absorb into the daydreaming and I just "what???" And I stopped daydreaming and started ruminating about it. I was really anxious and my hand was shaking. I repressed my thoughts so I was not hypervigilant about my mind and it happened. Now I'm thinking I did on purpose 😢😢😭😭😭

I'm so sorry this gave you high anxiety. I have this happening to me too. I could be going about my business and have the worst thought ever for the day and it's so bad I physically react to it. Then I just hope it passes by and doesn't come back. It really does suck. It's not your fault that you had those thoughts. I kind of think of it like an awful bug being planted in our minds that just set off all the wrong dials and amplify them.

It's because I was ok with my OCD. I was less anxious and getting better. So I'm afraid I didn't reacted fast to the thought. Sometimes when you're feeling better, do you get some thoughts and stop think a second later? Or do you start thinking you did on purpose and try to give some justifications?

@Lizzie Scheav These are called back door spikes!! This is when you're basically worrying about.. Not worrying. There are times where we see a thought and don't worry about it as much because we reach a point where we're so tired of giving the thoughts any attention, but OCD can use that as "proof" (not proof, but a Factor of uncertainty) and try to scare us with it. I've had this happen years ago but but so much now.

hey, i totally get how tough it can be when your mind seems to take a detour into anxiety, especially when daydreaming turns into a spiral of worrying thoughts. it's really challenging, but you're not alone in feeling this way. 💛 have you heard about "unstuck"? it's an ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (check it out at unstuckmyocd.com). it's been a game-changer for me in the past month, and i think it could offer you some relief too. a fellow forum member pointed me towards it, and i just wish i'd known about it sooner!

For me when i maladaptive daydream a lot of weird things I’m trying to get away from work their ways into the stories I make up when I listen to music and I have to keep fighting it off.

Is this ocd?
I’m not sure if this is ocd but sometimes I’ll just be doing literally anything and my brain will be like what if this this and this happens and it’ll be like so random like an example id be like walking home and id be like what if my whole family got k!lled in this really brutal way and it’ll have nothing to do with anything im doing ill just get a really vivid thought of something horrible happening and it freaks me out every time and sometimes I just have random ones about like me like having a whole scenario of me singing in front of my whole school and everyone loving it (I can’t sing) sometimes the thoughts are just intrusive thoughts or somethings they’re like full on daydreams where there’s like a whole plot to it like even the bad scary ones it’s weird

I need to talk about something
content warning: talks of explicit acts and fear of cheating or attraction to another person I had a dream yesterday about breaking up with my boyfriend and now I had a dream I cheated on him. They scared me but I've realized that they don't really mean anything. I only am freaking out again because while I was self pleasuring earlier, I was thinking of my partner and watching him until I had an intrusive thought someone I just saw in a tik tok and that got me there. im so scared because I didn't mean to let my mind slip and I really feel like I need to talk to my partner about this because i feel so guilty and I know something like this would hurt me if the situation was flipped so I don't know what to do. why did I like the thought so much to that point??? how do I convince myself I don't need to tell my partner even though the guilt is setting in and it feels so wrong? I feel ashamed and unfaithful and terrible I hate that this happened how I do know what to do what if it wasn't an intrusive thought and I enjoyed it even though I tried to change my thoughts?

The thought is bad tonight...
As the title states, my intrusive thought of "being in a dream" when I'm conscious is horrible tonight. Constant need of reassurance, trying to find any distraction. I can't get this thought out of my head no matter what I do. It's on the top of my thinking list 24/7 no matter what I try. Im feeling bad derealization and it makes me want to wish I didn't exist..I was fine before my panic attack from an ocular migraine (losing my eyesight is my biggest fear)...but now I'm not living...I'm just surviving...I'm very depressed...I haven't eaten today and had to remind myself to take a shower, brush my teeth, and drink water. I have a therapy session on here tomorrow...I'm praying so hard that I get answers and ways to get rid of this stupid thought that appeared out of nowhere....
