I have some disturbing and disgusting intrusive thoughts. They make me question myself. Edit: Thanks to everyone who js kind and respectful within these comments. Your advice and knowledge that you have shared with me, and the way you are all respectful to one another has comforted me deeply. Stay safe, and please, give others the same good advice that you have given me. You don't know when people may need it.

[@INMATE2468]

Cognitive thoughts are often ego dystoic, meaning the fact you are disgusted with them means precisely you are least likely to ever perform them more so than others that dont have them.

[@acrankymushroom]

@@INMATE2468 Thank you! I needed to hear that.

[@INMATE2468]

@acrankymushroom intrusive thoughts want us to 100% without a shadow of a doubt verify absolutely that the thought isnt real or it will never happen. Which is logically impossible. The reason intrusive thoughts bother some of us and not others i because some of us have all or nothing thinking. We unfortunately see things as black and white, "either im not gonna do it, or i will" . And ofcourse absolutely nothing in life is certain. This all or nothing/black and white thinking, is one of the reason intrusive thoughts shock some of us more than others. The mere knowledge of this helps me however, i hope it helps you too. Stay strong! Meditation, an SSRI (prozac), exercise, and talking to my loved ones has helped me immensely. Although i am not diagnosed with OCD, i still make an effort not to overly rely on affirmations from my loved ones. Ofcourse theyre always there as a safety net. I wish you the best of luck! Stay strong💪

I really need to actually do this, recently my ocd has spiked badly, and I’ve gotten into a compulsion of justifying in my own brain the thoughts about why they are wrong and then literally saying “go away leave me alone Intrusive thoughts” and what do you know, doing that has made it worse, I probably do that like 15 times a day right now and it’s miserable. It’s so hard to actually be like “oh yeah you’re right! Come on thoughts let’s party” because it feels like you’re letting yourself believe what the intrusive thought is saying. I really need to push myself to do this. If you’re reading this and have intrusive thoughts that get stuck or ocd, just know that you’re not alone, I know it feels like you’re alone sometimes because you feel like nobody fully understands, but you aren’t alone❤

[@samana4780]

That is literally so true. It is letting yourself believe the thought . its gonna make it even crazy and disturbing for me to accept them.

[@taraadkins3146]

I’ve suffered from intrusive thoughts on and off practically my whole life. A month ago I started praying that God would deliver me and I started proclaiming 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. I also just say I have a sound mind in Jesus name and. Just turn away from the thought and let God fight for me. It’s been very powerful for me. I pray that it will be for you as well 😊

[@baysarp9554]

@_page250 how did u manage it

[@p8735]

i feel like my brain is slowly recognizing that the solutions it thinks it’s found are really futile. i started a new job as a host that really forces me to deal with urgent issues immediately so i have no time to do compulsions. i’m finding out that after not doing compulsions due to important work issues popping up that i forget about the thought altogether and it feels distant. i try and do the same with intrusive sensations!! thanks for your videos 🥰 they remind me of the improvement i’ve made.

[@fortnitefreellama]

@@Mr_CENSORED_ Honestly, all you need to understand is everyone gets these thoughts, some people have stronger mindset and can laugh and ignore it but people with OCD can't, we stress about it, overthink about it, feed into it, give it attention to the point every time we get an intrusive thought, we feed it and repeat. The only way out is to let the thoughts be there, don't do anything let the thoughts come and go and that's it. Practice makes perfect. STARVE THE MONSTER! Don't give it attention and with practice, when you get the thoughts you naturally learn to not care about it and not give it power and it slips away at the back of your mind. God bless my g, these thoughts are all in your head and don't exist.

[@anthonyhartman5425]

Intrusive thoughts are difficult because they feel real but in reality, we don’t want them. They are intrusive for a reason, obviously this is easier said than done. I struggle with intrusive thoughts very frequently. You are not alone! I do think that when you give into intrusive thoughts, whether it be compulsions like reassurance or something different, it could become easier to snowball from there and continue to give into the thoughts- but like I said, you are not alone! Plenty of people have beaten and controlled their ocd and intrusive thoughts and compulsions and so can you. Just because you have the thoughts doesn’t mean you want them, like them, or agree with them. That icky feeling when you get an intrusive thought, and when you really want to stop thinking about it, almost reinforces the point that you actually don’t want the intrusive thoughts. Hopefully this was able to help/comfort you even the slightest bit. I’m here to talk even if it’s not ocd/thoughts related- that goes for anyone reading this !!

[@zzzcocopepe]

It's like scratching a scab. If you scratch at it, the scab will get ripped off and the cut will open up again. But as soon as you stop scratching, it starts to itch a lot more. So, instead you can try soothing it with a bit of water, or 40 CD you can tell yourself that it's okay and you're going to be okay. And soothe yourself. While refusing to scratch the itch. And eventually the cut will heal. But you must not irritated or it will never heal. And it can even get worse if you do.

[@SleepyNFit]

This is such a great analogy.

[@elck3]

As others have said, it’s come to the point that the things I’m worrying about feel so bad that I become depressed about the intrusive thoughts being right or happening. It’s SCARY, repetitive, and essentially depressive and intensely lonely feeling. It’s come to the point that the thoughts are less “intrusive” and more just horrifying and depressing. It feels like I’m just giving in and I’m worried that I am becoming the bad thing. Prevents me from accomplishing anything because the OCD thoughts seem most important. I don’t know. It makes me question whether I have OCD and that itself feels even scarier. Anyone else feel this?

[@TheOceanBearer]

Yes, to the 10 millionth degree. The last unwanted thought you mentioned is called imposter syndrome. I'm all too familiar with this as well.

[@user-zz3ie8uu3o]

yes I feel this. It started off as religious obsessive compulsions then health anxiety obsessive compulsive thoughts then sexuality purely o and now it’s just so bad that I don’t even want to say them out loud. So me welcoming them feels like I’m accepting and agreeing to those thoughts and that’s scary. sometimes the thoughts come in 1st person sometimes 3rd person and it’s gotten to a point where I get distressed when a certain topic reminds me of the thought. I wish there was more advice out there for pure O. A lot of these videos are made with OCD in mind so it does more harm than good if I were to follow this advice

[@nicnac9147]

​@@user-zz3ie8uu3oit's harder with the 3rd topic because it has a stigma attached to it but we should probably deal with it like all the other ones, let go and turn it away.

[@waterlillyruby.]

[@Y0urMisterDirty]

One way to think about it is like this: imagine you’re brain is a bully and when you react strongly to your intrusive thoughts you’re encouraging your brain to do more of this because it likes the reaction. If you don’t like the imagery of allowing your intrusive thoughts to dinner with you (believe me I know how disturbing they get) just try ignoring them and letting them flow through your mind freely without giving the bully the response it wants.

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

1. Act like you don't care 2. Trigger is okay in my mind 3. If I stop the trigger I attach importance. Instead of pull and push: let go by detaching the trigger, lower expectancy, increase resilience against triggers, distance yourself from the trigger, make it unimportant, don't care the trigger is in my mind because I will do things without the compulsion 4. Never stop the trigger, never change a negative trigger to a positive (because it is ocd), only learn to stand the negative trigger by accepting, experiencing you will build resilience of these incorrect emotions, body sensations and thoughts

how do you do this without ruminating on the thought? my compulsion is rumination, and i don’t know where to draw the line

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

Answer: Get a paper and pen. Write down all your thoughts, emotions and body sensations. Then categorise them between: ruminating, rituals, reassurance-seeking, compulsions, attachments, triggers, safety behaviors, escape, avoidance Next is, focus on the triggers, practice for weeks with trigger thought awareness until triggers are not appearing subconscious and unquestionable anymore. Then practice for weeks to accept and really experience the triggers and the signal word 'because' of attachment. Practice until you lower expectancy, you think about triggers until you don't care anymore when they appear, but in all practising always focus on the trigger so never stop or change it to positive. They have to maintain negative otherwise your habituation and inhibitory learning model won't improve your ocd

Keep It Up! I Mean By Both In The Sense Of Your Videos You Do And In The Messages You Share! ^^

Much easier said than done

[@DVONTEE]

You always make me feel better bro

[@MasterNinjaXz]

My question is that when the thought is really disturbing to think about, and thus definitely not something you would accept in your thoughts, how do you accept and let it pass? Does letting it pass mean you are above it and thus it has no effect on you? Because it feels like accepting it makes it a part of you, and obviously you don’t want that, but I get that ideally you want to accept that everything is a part of you and it may not have any value. Cause I just feel like once I say “you can come and go as you please”, I’ve given the thoughts free access to the front of my mind where it is distressing, but I get the idea that it’s supposed to create a sense of “I’m indifferent to this thought because I don’t combat my thoughts”. Right?

[@yellowing6263]

My exact dilemma

[@Traecorz]

Accepting the thoughts means you are accepting that fact that your having the thought instead of pushing it away, you simply have to be so confident about who you are that you can do this, like the mind cannot tell you that you are not alive because you know your a 100% alive, you have no doubts of this, the doubt is the weakness, the thoughts are attacking this doubt, accepting the thought will not make you what it is, you could have thoughts that you are disciplined person but then sit and play video games for hours, the action defines who you are, by working out constantly makes you disciplined, or not engaging in bad habits. You have to reduce the sensitivity and emotional control of these thoughts, your mind understands your weak spots greatly, accepting these thoughts shows yourself you are not afraid of it, and you can also accept these thoughts because you know that it is not you, you are only accepting the thought to get rid of it, manipulating your mind the way your mind tries to manipulate you.

[@goldilockz6517]

I think it’s about accepting the presence of the thought, not the content of it.

[@kxmu126]

@@TraecorzI have a problem tho the thoughts that I’m thinking I’ve done some of them like addictions and I’m trying to get over the addictions but I keep getting tempted to do them any way on how to get over addictions so they can’t stay in my mind all the time?

[@FennyFoxx]

Thank you for the tips, as someone who has ocd this really means a lot to me.

[@parentingchildhoodocd]

Great tip. This is so hard to do, though, especially for children.

[@Quietfire83]

Thank you for this. It's always great to see another's perspective!:❤

[@MrNeverface]

The real struggle is when these thoughts begin to grow actual real life attachments to our emotions. It is possible to become immersed in these thoughts to a degree that they feel like actual memories. It is imperative that we separate the weight we carry. There are different rules for those like us.

[@maddiemae73]

I’ve been feeling off lately and the thought of doing this made me smile. Thank you. Have a blessed day ✌️💗🥳

[@anthonystitt3052]

You are an amazing coach!

[@dishasoutdoorfun994]

Thank you so much for this😊. OCD is very hard to live with.

[@spaceship1324]

Thank you very much, my ocd is really bad... And the worst things is that i also have anxiety and instrutive thoughts thats why i am still working on making it better.

[@awesomeaaron369]

I really appreciate this video, I have struggled with OCD for a long time and I mostly beat it with guidance from God and your videos, I still sometimes will fall into a pattern of bad thoughts and tics but I am far better than I was a couple years ago. Thank you!

[@paulanunez658]

I started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I can say it was life-changing. OCD has no power over me anymore, I can stay with the thought without engaging in compulsions and move on with my day. Thank you for giving me the answer that I was needing to heal!

[@Winterbambi]

I love you for this

[@Jambiswag]

This video helped me much. Whenever I start having bad thoughts or anxiety I tell them “come on in!”

[@ma-dr5te]

this just took me out of a 3 hour thought loop. thank you

[@zarikepunzulis4238]

Sometimes the content of the thoughts are way too distressing and sick or sad and violent... I think if this was possible ocd wouldn't be classed as a mental illness. We would've been curing ourselves asap..

[@catherinep-v5324]

Thank you so much for your videos 🙂

[@Inspiringtackles]

Thankuuuu So much🥺❤️

[@lstmind8279]

thank you 😭 this is all what I feel 😊

[@mars4105]

They're horrible. They live in my head rent free from morning to night. Sometimes it gets better, then it goes down. I feel like I go insane.

[@Riyuzako7]

how are you now

[@mars4105]

@Riyuzako7 way better. It had reduced its impact for a little while. Then, some friend from work invited me to church (I have not been to a protestant church ever, and I don't usually go to church). Although I'm not a believer (at least not as of now), it gave me a huge morale boost. I started to take care of myself, buy myself new clothing, new haircut, you to glow up you know? If you are going through this, I know it can be hard, and that you may want to give up on everything, I know I wanted to. But it is not the right thing. As horrible as it feels, you must have faith in a better future, and patience for it to arrive. Keep moving onward, no matter how hard it is. Find refuge in philosophies, God, perhaps video games, anything (just make sure to eliminate the bad addictions once it's the OCD is leaving). Love can also help you a lot. It did for me. Although I don't think I'll be with this girl (she's the one who invited me to church), my love for her somehow made me stronger and want to improve myself. But beware, these things can be taken away from you, so the most important is that you are your own pillar. If others are your pillars, and they fall, you shall fall with them. But if you are your own pillar, then you will never fall. Pardon my long text, but I hope it will go better for you. You got this, trust in yourself and in your capacities. You will overcome them, and your dreams shall no longer be just dreams. Good luck

[@RoseSupreme]

Literally me. I have days where I barely think of it, then later on or the next day, they hit me like a freight train.

[@Iloveth_ebeatles]

Thanks sooooo much!!!! This helps a lot with my anxiety and stress oh my God if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be having anxiety rn!!!

[@user-jz5tm8hg5x]

Don’t push it away, don’t talk about it. Talking about it just makes it worse

[@OnlyLeeknowswhatLeeknows]

Talking about it made mine much better tbh

[@jhondoe428]

tysm man this worked so much, i appreciate this so much!! ❤️

[@lucky-dinoz5134]

I can’t push them away. It’s only making it worse.

[@mouthwaterin]

Don't try to push them away. What I do is I'm like "oh yeah it's those thoughts again, whatever you can stay if you want but know you've got nothing to dictate over my life"

[@silentstormstudio4782]

You said pushing the thought away is bad but told exactly to ignore it by bringing in another thought 🤔.

[@user-vd9ww8hw7z]

My thoughts usually make me see myself lower than everyone else, sometimes i look at my mates and look at my self and i feel so low, primitive and useless, sometimes i even have thoughts of harming my loved one, I'm so sick and tired 😢

[@al_5655]

[@BrownBoy-xv4xr]

O God. I needed this!!!!

[@aiportalofficial]

No sarcasm. Thansk so much I have sever general anxiety I tested it after u mentioned kazoo which made was a funny image as one intrusive thought came I cautiously gave it a shot and I was instantly lighter.ive struggled how to reduce the neutral pathways of the strong fears that I brainwashed myself actively for about 1 year. I don't know how this will turn out as I've not found anything but I wrote your words down. I was avoiding to hide and at noon go under my blanket to avoid fear. Not being able to actually live life study work. Thank you so much Sir.

[@V1xage_]
