As silly as this sounds try to just accept that they’re happening. Don’t read into it, I know it’s hard cause it’s like “what the heck is going through my head, why am I thinking this” but it just adds to the loop. Intrusive thoughts and images are called intrusive because they aren’t you thinking these thoughts, they just pop up unwanted. It’s not a demon either!
@lbwocd thanks you so much 🙁
Like I have scary intrusive thoughts too like harm OCD and it’s incredibly difficult to just watch the thought appear but when it comes and I don’t pay attention to it, that’s usually the end of it. I’m sorry you’re dealing with it but it does get better! Try to look up ACT (Acceptance and commitment therapy) it has taught me so many skills to help me not get stuck in this loop 🫶🏼
Don’t worry I know it feels so real with OCD it’s about images and feelings! Don’t get destructed try to sit with thous images and let them know they don’t scare you!
@Jay🫶🏽 Thank you! 🙁🙁
@kksilly And please don’t do what I did DO NOT GOOGLE SYMPTOMS because it’s only going to make it worst!
They are scary! It's terrible. Sorry you are suffering from them. I try to brush them off and just say it's that bully ocd again. Otherwise, I'll drive myself nuts! Ugh...it stinks. See if you can just sit with it and say oh well, not sure what that is about but time to move on. I wish I had a magic wand and could make it go away!
also intrusive thoughts like “i will eat you?” guys what is this im really scared please help
someone please please help
im really scared im not sure what this is
I see dark intrusive images with my ocd it is sadly normal. I highly recommend looking up how to treat your OCD either with exposure response and or not doing compulsions so that you will not be triggered by these images anymore. It’ll take a lot of work and it’s really hard but you’ll feel a lot a relief.
Recently I’ve been having scary intrusive thoughts about hurting myself or others. I’m so scared, what do I do?? I wouldn’t hurt a fly.
im not diagnosed, but these past two days have been terrible. i constantly have this underlying feeling that i might do something that i think is gross and i feel like i can’t do anything on my own because otherwise i might do something wrong. like i feel like i constantly have to be in front of people so that i can make sure of my every action. this is so exhausting and I’m so confused. and like i keep getting terrible images and stuff replaying in my head. i also try to recall what happened but i feel like i have false event too. i used to have religious ocd and that eventually stopped completely, but now it feels like all my work getting over that was pointless. also like i feel like i might have contamination ocd but not the typical germ type. I just get terrible images and I can’t remember if those images are true or not even though they’re impossible and i feel terrible. I don’t know if i could ever get over this because even the thought of it is terrible.
Guys it feels so real and im really scared because it feels like i dont care about the thoughts and it feels like im going to do something terrible, its horrific. I am so scared i keep getting urges and images i dont know what to do because i get a whole rush of panic. I think what’s triggered it was my for you page on tiktok, on the Mendez brothers murder cases and The prada guy and im so scared but it feels like im not worried like abt the thoughts or feeling but i am scared pls reply its literally plaguing me in my head idk what to do bc it feels like im gonna do it
