I have intrusive thoughts

hey i had a really bad one recently and my mind had felt super weird but it’s all because of the stress and anxiety first days i was totally freaking out and nauseous and felt sick because of the thought but i just keep reminding myself they are just thoughts and i would never do anything like that ik it might be hard but try and talk to someone about it remember they are just thoughts

Thank you smile 521

a therapist introduced me to “leaves on a stream” where you observe your thoughts as they pass like leaves flowing on a stream, away from you. it takes time and practice to get a handle on it, but if you’re in therapy for ocd it’s worth asking about
