just know that's ocd trying to trick you, sit with that thought, don't reassure yourself, just let it be there and do your best not to engage with it, it will fade. You are going great!

@yuliana.777 It's not if it was really who you are, having those thoughts wouldn't bother you like they are. When they come in try reverse psychology on them, just be like ok whatever, sure, maybe that will happen. I promise it will get better you won't feel like this forever.

Always remember that you and your ocd thoughts are different. You are a separate individual with a real personality while your ocd thoughts are imaginary and they are not real. They are just hypothetical things, things that have not happened yet and won't happen in future too. Always see yourself and your ocd thoughts as two separate things. You are real and good, your ocd thoughts are just imaginary.

I’ve overcome this and i know it seems like your intrusive thoughts are 100% real even when people tell you they’re not but i promise they’re not and i cannot stress that enough. What rlly helped me was thinking of it from a logical perspective. For example if i believed that a certain action would lead to something i would think “Logically thats not possible. Someone doing (x) doesnt lead to (x)”

They are not real. Don’t even consider that they are real

Just know that they aren't real no matter how real they are.

@yuliana.777 The what ifs are ocd. If you're questj9ning something chances are its and ocd trap thought. Ocd is a liar and a manipulator. It's going to convince of things you would never wish on your worst enemy.

Intrusive thoughts
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? 😅

It’s so scary because it feels real
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
