when i first got my Cat, I had intrusive thoughts too and it was horrible for the first couple weeks with her around. Now, we are best buds (although she picks on me and bites me). Thoughts are just thoughts and do not dictate the future :) even the scariest ones
@My OCD Academia so happy you guys have an amazing relationship! these thoughts are so terrifying
i'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. having those kinds of intrusive thoughts can feel terrifying, but it's important to remember they're just thoughts, not intentions. it's super tough, but you're not alone in feeling this way. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was dealing with similar feelings, my NOCD therapist recommended 'unstuck' (unstuckmyOCD.com/try) to me, and it was a game changer. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized support for dealing with intrusive thoughts, guiding you through managing them just like an OCD therapist would. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have qs or just want to talk more! <3
@LeslieB3 thank you for the suggestion! i tried to make an account but it keeps saying error and codes. :(
@grlwithocd ♥︎︎ - hiii! would like to send them an email?
@LeslieB3 hey leslie!! i made it and feeling better ☺️
@grlwithocd ♥︎︎ - Omg. You're so sweet for getting back to me. I am glad to hear that by the way!! Hope you continue to manage it better<333
I live everyday constantly having questions such as “what if you want to sleep with your dog”, “what if you want to sleep with _____’s child” and “what if you want to sleep with your sister”? Im so sick of these intrusive thoughts, POCD is my main, and most troubling, subtype and I’m just so sick of it; i dont know what to do, I constantly feel like a pedophile and I’m exhausted. My problem lies in the fact that Im starting OCD recovery but a lot of my compulsions regarding these thoughts are avoidant or purely mental, and considering the theme these feel too massive to combat. What’s some advice for beginning to battle these intrusive thoughts?
does anyone else constantly suffer from intrusive thoughts? it makes my head ache & i can barely think straight.
i’ve been having harm ocd thoughts for like a week straight. graphic images of hurting my family. i would never ever want to hurt them. i dont think i can do this anymore. they wont go away.
