@ocdfriends: Your OCD thoughts don’t reflect you But if you try to convince yourself that by reassureance or solving it ends up making things worse Instead, what helped me, was allowing the thoughts to be there without perceiving them as bad and then practicing non engagement Is the content of the intrusive thoughts negative? Yes Does having a intrusive thought make me those thoughts or bad? No You can’t control what thoughts enter your mind, but you can control how you perceive and react to it So focus on that, and things will shift If you want to learn more about this tool and everything that helped me on my journey… Go to the link in my bio to join my community 18+ and not therapy #ocd

💟 :
my compulsion is to keep wondering if my intrusive thoughts are actually intrusive or it's just me trying to justify my horrible thoughts by calling them intrusive. It's awful. I can never tell if a thought is mine or not anymore, and I have to tell myself "I agree with this thought" or "I don't agree, I didn't want to think that" every time, it's exhausting
