Any advice for intrusive sexually harming thoughts? I feel like a monster
Stay in the uncertainty and be uncomfortable for as long as you can without doing something to make you feel better , trying to figure it out will always cause my thoughts/images in your mind
More * and yea , once you start to feel mad or sad or any emotion to the thoughts it’s sort of like trying to figure it out . Try to be kind to yourself . Soon as you don’t try to figure it out you won’t get rid of the thoughts but less will pop up . It’ll take lots of time to have the thoughts subside . Change your attitude about them and give less energy no matter how bad you feel like you have to fight them and they’ll change 😉
Thanks
Accept the presence of those thoughts, not the actual content of them. Just observe them like a cloud passing by and use non-engagement responses when you feel like ruminating or doing other compulsions.
Thank you ! Its hard though
Yeah I realised that trying to figure it out is making it way worsw
worse
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
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? 😅
Someone please help me I’m having intrusive thoughts of hurting my pets and I’m really scared of myself and I want these thoughts to go away. Can someone please help me I’m scared and I don’t know if I’m a monster
