#ocd intrusive thoughts

[muclunga]

A genuine thank you to people who have started using the term ‘impulsive thought(s)’ instead of ‘intrusive thought(s)’ when joking around. It’s a little thing but it’s also so very meaningful to people who struggle with intrusive thoughts like myself. It can be debilitating and terrifying beyond words, so seeing people use the term so loosely, especially often in favor of them “winning” can be incredibly distressing.

And for those who think it’s stupid and that people are being too serious about it or giving it too much thought: yeah, you’re absolutely right, and that’s part of the issues we struggle with. The thoughts are relentless. For a lot of people- the struggle is minute to minute or even second to second, and even the smallest things can derail our entire day.

So again, thank you to everyone who goes out of their way to say ‘impulsive’ instead.

And if you struggle with intrusive thoughts- you are NOT a monster, you are NOT crazy, you are NOT your thoughts, and you are NOT alone, even when it feels that way♥️

Here’s some affirmations to add to your scripts if you’re into manifesting but you have intrusive thoughts:

• These are just thoughts, they do not define me.

• I am safe in this moment.

• Thoughts are not facts.

• I am doing the best I can, and that is enough.

• It’s okay to have difficult thoughts. I still deserve peace.

• I treat myself with peace and kindness.

• Thoughts come and go. I do not have to engage with them.

• Having intrusive thoughts does not make me a bad person.

• I am allowed to think without self judgement.

We have experienced what it is like when OCD made our lives smaller. Let us experience what a beautiful, fulfilling life can be like.That doesn't mean life without the struggles of OCD. That doesn't mean a life without the struggles OCD can and will present. But let us experience what a beautiful meaningful life chosen by us is like.

Check out the Youtube video

It seems that OCD will always be there in some way, no matter what I do. - YouTube

I just got a sudden boost of OCD intrusive thoughts and it just reminded me of how truly fucking horrible it is. Because I kind of forgot how much of a living hell it is since I medicated now. I don't know why I got this sudden boost all of a sudden but holy shit it's actually the worst experience ever. Like imagine being forced to view disturbing disgusting images and thoughts and ideas that you can't close your eyes to because they're being projected in your head. Now imagine that 24/7 and it's about your friends and family.

tw for intrusive thoughts related to s/h

I don't want to hurt myself and I really wish my brain would stop telling me to. I don't want to hurt myself. I don't want to hate myself I don't want to give up. I'm so tired of my brain being so mean. I just want to feel better

"lmao I let the intrusive thoughts win, I'm so delulu" I'm begging you to have a single ounce of understanding and common sense before you say things like this.

Tired of random tiktok people in comment sections saying they "let the intrusive thoughts win" when they mean impulsive thoughts, instead. There is a huge difference.

And stop using the term delusional unless you actually fucking are. It's gross.

Sincerely, someone who is having a very bad time with ocd and delusions today.

I finally got another picrew chain! I love these--

Oh wait. But what if I do it wrong. What if that makes me wrong. What if it's unlucky. What if I'm lying about it. What if it doesn't have the hairstyle. What if the quiz tells me I'm a bad person. What if I'm a bad person? What if-- *OCD rambling wtf guys*

The daily suffering

(Notes: this is one of the more tame parts of my OCD Intrusive thoughts) One part of my mental health I dont talk about but is literally present every single day is this weird fear of lack, loosing.

Being afraid to lose what you have or want isn't abnormal but its how my brain goes about it that is.

Sometimes im afraid if I put my clothes away a certain way, dont do such and such at a certain time etc etc etc I will lose a milestone ive made, maybe itll happen to a me in another universe or maybe this one. It makes me worry things I want to happen wont happen, just because I ordered out when I said I would stop or didnt walk three steps instead walking two.

I also worry things will get worse because of the things I did completely unrelated. For instance, on my neck the tattoo artist messed up and did my tat backwards. So sometimes I worry if I don't type something out on the computer a specific way in another universe a different version of me had an even worse and bigger tattoo mishap or when I go to get this one removed it'll get infected.

I am constantly terrified of consequence in a way that doesnt make sense, and I know it doesnt but it still effects my behavior.

To love and accept myself I have to accept the role OCD has played on me and my life.

Intrusive thoughts about violence towards past abusers, or other shitty people, are interesting to manage.

I'm not upset over the idea of those people being harmed, but I'm disturbed by the images themselves.

Ok I’m having a slight mental breakdown about the sun the last couple days (idk what’s happening but every time the sun touches me I get these horrible intrusive thoughts like “I’m not wearing sunscreen, my skin is going to peel off my body, I’m going to get melanoma and die of sun cancer”) so to reassure myself and spread awareness here are the signs of melanoma and when to get it checked by a doctor:
