james25 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 ocd is really bad at the moment. i'm finding it hard to do anything even posting on here because of obsessive thoughts. i just cant get them out of my head. all i can do is fight them with good thoughts but this just becomes a continuous circle of fighting bad thoughts with good thoughts. i've been told to just pay no attention to them and they will fade on their own but i cant just ignor them, its to difficult. i dont know how to stop the thoughts.

Marchmadness Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hey james -Those thoughts that go around and around in your head can be really difficultto stop. Its like a recording going over and over again. Yeah the docs told meI had to put those things on hold and counter act it with positive thoughts. Its notan easy process, but I would have to write the thoughts down. Then write a positive one, and read them over and over again. Have you tried to put on somemusic to drown out the other recordings?Marchmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benaakatz Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 hey man, i have the same problem; constant intrusive disturbing thoughts of many different natures; i know what you mean when u say they are had to ignore; i personally can't ignore them; i feel like im caught in a trap each time, it's awful; everyone tells me just to ignore the thoughts and they'll become less distressing, but for me that seems impossible....

AveMaria Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hey James, I hope you are feeling better. I only get disturbing thoughts and voices when I am really stressed out, but then I usually feel like benaakatz. I can't usually not ignore them, but it actually helps me if a friend or my bf will talk to me in a soothing voice, usually I can't really follow what they are saying, so I tell them to start with a story and then just ramble about whatever they think of. Having someone elses actually voice in a relaxing and un stressful situation where I don't have to follow what they are saying, just be soothed helps me. Or if I get desperate I take a sleeping pill and I usually feel better when I wake up. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
