You don’t have to accept the content of the thoughts, but acknowledge that those thoughts and feelings are present and are not dangerous like your brain perceives. Sit with the anxiety for as long as possible without doing compulsions. You got this!
@blazed Thank you so much 😊
Just acknowledge that they exist. Going off of blazed, you just need to sit down and let your levels come down. There’s a sos button if you need it :)
@✨Pennyroyal✨ Thank you 🙏
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?
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
