Honestly your best option is to just roll with the images treat them like if you were to think what am I going to get at the store today don’t give them a second thought just let them go and come as they please because the more you try to suppress them or reduce/get rid of them … the stronger and faster they will come back … I wish you all the luck … remember nothing last forever

@Blueberrycows What if I’m in the middle of doing something I love and an intrusive image comes in? I just ignore it and continue what I’m doing? It’s like OCD sends them especially when I’m doing something I love because it knows I’ll stop what I’m doing because I don’t want to do those things with those images in my head…

With intrusive thoughts you kind of have learn to not do any compulsions and treat them like how I imagine people without OCD have intrusive thoughts. By have the thoughts and not caring and just moving on.  it’s hard work to get to that point, but you can do it.  Sorry that the images with your ocd can be truly terrible. Stay strong and work on treating your ocd

But its like intrusive images of demons, or really weird creepy things. And it just comes so quickly i can barely see it. And the thing is, i can really see it properly like it comes, i feel the intense anxiety but its insanely idk how to describe it.

Intrusive thought too intense to ignore
I don’t really wanna go into detail about what it’s about cause I feel like it’s super embarrassing, but there’s this one specific type of intrusive thought I get that I struggle extremely with ignoring/sitting in discomfort with. Does anyone have tips for managing something like this?
