  1. Thank you so much snowbear Your reply is very helpful, im so happy to know about cognitive side, i had been very weak in this side of cbt and you really helped me to learn it, i followed what you said and now i can feel the thought losing its power and slowly fading
  2. Hi all My main ocd themes are religious, harm and magical thinking. I cant go to therapists for some reasons, i have been doing self cbt, erp. Yesterday i got another weird intrusion and freaked out, i did a bit exposure and today feeling better than yesterday, but i have got a doubt about cognitive side of cbt, maybe this doubt is my new obsession as i feel like ruminating about it a lot The intrusion was kind of thought action fusion, i got this obsession, and as cognitive side i reminded myself, this thougt is just a thought, nothing to freak out, but i still get repetative thoughts about it like maybe/what if thought lead to the action(bad), i feel like i should do something about it. But deep down i know that was just a thought, but when i remember the obsession its like there is a cloud of doubt covering my deep down belief. Now i keep on thinking 'maybe i havent done cognitive side properly, maybe i should completely convince myself that the obsession is a lie as cognitive side, maybe i should work on cognitive side of it again' but i cant really convince myself fully, my ocd brings lots of what ifs if i try to do. Do you think i should really go back and properly convince myself the cognitive side of it and have zero doubt? Or this is ocd at work creating obsession about cognitive side? please tell me what do you think is going on, please help.
  3. Thank you Dragonfly, hope things improve soon for you too, we can do it!
  4. Thank you so much Snowbear. I will follow the advice
  5. Thank you so much Snowbear I think the factor which keeps me believing in the fear (what if the thought sticks always?) is: I ruminated and analysed it more 2 days ago, when it first appeared. Im slowly stopping it, but still i cant completely stop these compulsions, so im afraid, maybe brain will think its so important and keeps reminding it to me The fact i have performed compulsions and not able to completely stop it makes me think my brain will always give it importance and the thought will never go away. Please help me.
  6. Thank you so much Polarbear, you are right i freak out when the thought comes What would be the cognitive side for the obsession that is 'what if obsessive image/thought will not fade away and will stick in mind always?'
  7. Hi all Im posting here for the first time but i have been reading the posts and advices here, which i find very useful, thank you all. My main ocd themes are religious, harm and magical thinking.I cant go to therapists for many reasons, I am doing ERP by myself and i have stopped doing many physical compulsions and im not good at stopping mental ones completely. Now a new obsession has stuck in my head, and i want to know how to get rid of it. I cant recognise the compulsion of this obsession clearly(perhaps mental one) Ok, my new obsession is...the image of this famous religious person, something triggered it 2 days ago and my mind said this image will stuck in my head for the rest of my life....i freaked out, i dont want to have this image in my head all the time, it gave me anxiety at first, but now mostly distress, i tried not to ruminate or analyse but i ended up doing it Now, whenever i remember this image obsession, i automatically feel like the image is stuck in the upper right side inside my head (weird i know), i try not to give attention to it, but it still doesnt fade away i mental check if the obsession has gone or not, obviously its not. I dont know how to stop mental checking, please somebody help me! And also im obsessing a lot about 'am i stopping mental ritual perfectly?' i focus a lot on how im doing erp, specially for mental compulsions, feels like this has become another obsession/ compulsion, i dont know.... Can anybody please tell me why is this thought not fading? how to make it stop? and also please advice me how to face this. Thank you so much for reading, i appreciate your replies a lot
