Can intrusive thoughts make you feel crazy? What are yours like I need help mine are so bad . They pop up random when im talking to someone while someone's talking ..... it feels like they are getting worse by the minute .
Absolutely they do make anyone feel crazy as we take our minds too seriously
Mine are all day everyday. I experience intrusive thoughts way more than I experience panic attacks or anything else. I actually am like annoyed and scared of my intrusive thoughts but I feel like I don’t even rlly do compulsions it’s not like where I get one and I need to figure it out I’ve had them for awhile now so I’m kind of immune they still scare me but they’re just always there? Anyone else
That is whats happening to me I'm getting the thoughts worse then the panic
I think I am getting more yoused to them
Yes...I feel like they are making me crazy. It's terrible
I have lived with OCD my whole life and learned I had it last year at 57 years old. Now I feel more crazier then before as I reexamine how many areas of my life got distorted by OCD. My obsessive health concern won’t let me take meds. I am learning to face these fears and push through. You can do it too.
@PatrickF Same here I was diagnosed with adhd right before Covid I’m 58
Has anyone gotten through them without medication
Are you talking about ruminations ??
My OCD would tell me my wife was the crazy one all the time. Now we can laugh about it that’s it’s me who’s crazy. 🤪 I am not struggling with OCD now. I just know it’s there. Reflecting on topics it trapped me in for years gone by is upsetting. For example, replaying of past pre-marital sexual encounter details over and over in a way that if I didn’t do it I would forget them. Which is what I wanted to do for so long. Then add on top my scrupulosity and guilt and shame would just start another battle of the mind.
I’m having constant intrusive thoughts and it’s driving me crazy. I will go through these periods where everything I do I get an intrusive thought and it’s just my brain is so loud. Anyone else?! How do you stop the constant intrusive thoughts when you can’t really do an exposure for every single one?!
HELP!! Does anyone have any tips for intrusive thoughts I have been having some really bad ones lately.
I have had a huge increase in Intrusive Thoughts this week. It’s making things super difficult for me, I am on my period but I also think I’m having more intrusive thoughts recently because things are going well for me right now. I just keep waiting for everything to fall apart because my mind makes me believe that I don’t deserve more than one good thing at a time. My mind is in constant fight or flight mode. I cannot stop thinking about every past mistake or how someone may have thought I had bad or malicious intentions when I didn’t. I keep thinking I’m going to get in trouble for something and go to jail, I’m especially scared about work and messing up someone’s check out and getting fired or arrested. I hate feeling this way, there is just so much going on in my head and I’m terrified and stressed all the time.
