Help 🫠

Been there. The best way to get over intrusive thoughts is not let them have meaning. Imagine them as clouds passing by that you can see. They are just thoughts. OCD latches onto your morals. The fact that they bother you tells me it’s OCD

Dude. I’ve been there. So this may be long, but it helped me when I struggled with this. Your subconscious, literally never stops recording from the moment your born, You don’t remember it obviously. But your subconscious does, literally everything you’ve seen, heard, watched, read about…you get the picture. So that disgusting thing you saw in a movie before, or heard about on the news, or read about before, your brain can bring than up. And it can put you as the subject, but as we know and have heard repeated…because it’s true…. We are not our thoughts. We can’t control them. You literally can’t, but what you can control is your thinking, aka what you give your attention to. So dude I know how tough it is, but you’ve really gotta work on separating yourself from those intrusive thoughts, ocd/anxietys job is to grab your attention and keep it, we recover by learning those thoughts are harmless. Willful tolerance, we don’t have to like them, but we let them be and move on with our day. Eventually your brain learns those thoughts don’t get the reaction it wants and lets up.

Yes I have daily the most disturbing and demoralizing violent intrusive thoughts and I hate it and I can totally relate about questioning it all the time but ERP has changed my life forever and they don’t distress me like they use to
