So frustrating
Have you ever been feeling okay and then suddenly an old intrusive thought comes back but worse and you can’t seem to get past it as easily?

I have this 😞 sometimes with certain themes/triggers I’ll be fine and I can think to myself “why was I worrying so much about that that’s so silly” and it will be in the back of my mind, but say I see a post/situation with the theme/trigger, it will light a fire and appear serious/ something I need to “solve” again and my ocd goes crazy over it again right after thinking that the theme was silly previously

OCD does that a ton. I’m slowly getting over a lot of intrusive thoughts, but they will creep up every so often.

Going through this now. ROCD is in the house here, and after struggling for a while wish intrusive thoughts about leaving my partner for no reason, we went on vacation and everything was good, I was over the moon and even cried of happiness. Cut to some days later, I’m in my bedroom and the thought of him having spoken to other girls when we met (we met on Tinder and made things serious after two months) makes me sick and OCD flares up again and again and again. Rationally, I know it’s dumb to see this as a problem (I was literally doing that too, that’s the premise of Tinder), and YET of course OCD latched onto it.

It’s almost like a mind game!!! You tell yourself you feel better and then out of the blue!

Different themes in one day
Does anyone that is diagnosed have experience having different themes come up in a day? It’s like I ignored one thought and then my mind comes up with another one until it figures out one that is scary enough for me to ruminate. Does it ever make sense? Like today my intrusive thought was an image of me in the space or falling into space which made me also think - this is non sense! Am I going crazy for having such an unrealistic intrusive thought? And then my psychosis OCD comes to play 🫠 it’s EXHAUSTING but I’ve been answering with “maybe or maybe not” and “I don’t care” which is something I saw someone saying that helps and I’ve been using it. I haven’t started ERP yet but hopefully soon. Just this year this came up and I still catch myself feeling so sad and remembering how I was before this. 😭

Panic attack?
My recent intrusive thoughts have been triggering bad panic attacks. Do you guys also get panic attacks or anxiety from your intrusive thoughts? 😣

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?
