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.

“You are welcome to come, but i don’t identify myself as you at all”

But they make me depressed, i can't just accept them cuz they are scary; at the same time pushing them away will increase them

I've come to think of my thoughts like unskippable youtube ads. They're trying to sell me something, I can't make them go away, and they're not predictable. If I just have to let them happen, they'll pass. Then I can get on with my life. Easier said than done, but this mindset shift has helped me so much.

[sidjsnajdkc]

it sounds simple but sometimes these thoughts are strong and they make me cringe hard

[karondrenoel]

My thoughts are so cringy. I could never accept something that's so disturbing to my spirit

[cosmokramer]

I tried pushing my intrusive thoughts away for so long that it drove me literally insane. You helped me manage it better. Thank you!

[VultureXV]

My intrusive thoughts usually hover around forms of violence and it makes me concerned. Never acted on, but the fact that I can think that way is destressing.

[mzslp]

Hearing this made me cry and emotional. I also feel understood, or that I am not alone. Thank you.

[MilouAT]

You said ''I’m worried that I am becoming the bad thing''. The fact that you said this, tells me you're not. You're probably a good person with sometimes bad, very disturbing thoughts. That occurs often. I hope you find peace with your thoughts <3 Kuddos for speaking out and asking for help / recognizement!

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❤

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 !!

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.

[julianbarajas]

The thing is if I accept and let these thoughts it tells my brain that I’m ok with them and supports those thoughts when in reality I want nothing to do with them

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.

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?

[duggles-isgone]

You have genuinely saved me, thank you so much for these videos. Please never stop making these videos 🙏

[mapar]

I am a student working towards becoming a therapist so I can help people with their mental health. My OCD has completely taken over my life to the point where I was absolutely terrified and didn’t want to continue living. Your videos make me believe there is hope. You are incredible and we appreciate you so much. God bless you!

It's commendable I haven't committed suicide considering the years of hostility I've endured and am enduring as well as the constant, unwanted, intrusive memories, all whilst suffering many adversities. I will try this approach.
