Thoughts won't stop

whispers_and_eyes profile image

Hi everyone I'm new here I have ocd ptst etcI was hoping to get some relief my thoughts won't stop running. I try to scream and make sounds to block them out but they keep going tormenting me.

It keeps me from wanting to start or stop anything just I'm case I did or do it wrong

I went somewhere today and got angry at someone almost hitting someone else in the street. I cussed at them

Now I feel like I'm am evil person and everyone knows I'm evil and somehow this is all gonna come back on me

I also asked a new person I met if they thought I was a certain way. Now I think they think I'm crazy and weird and don't ever want to talk to me again

Thoughts?

hi thank you I was but she said I needed intensive care I did that but then they said I didn’t really need it but it’s because I can be very self aware. And it takes awhile to really trust so I mask

Now I feel like I’m just floating waiting to pop

I know exactly how you feel. Always here for support 🙏

Thoughts are just thoughts, nothing more. Trying to drown out OCD thoughts will just cause them to get louder. Easier said than done but notice them, accept them but don’t attach meaning to them. Acceptance doesn’t equal approval. The thoughts are ego-dystonic, meaning they go against our values. Thoughts don’t have power by themselves. Thoughts don’t equal action.

Treatment for OCD should be done by a licensed mental health provider who specializes in OCD and is appropriately trained in doing ERP.
