Spud2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Is it normal for themes to jump from theme to theme super quickly? It used to be that they would last for several weeks 2-4 but now it's literally like changes from day to day. Sometimes I'll be worrying about one thing in the morning i.e (schizophrenia) then it'll be like HOCD later or if I get POCD type thought I think about it until I've established I'm not an awful person. It's so tiring Link to comment
PolarBear Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Perfectly normal. But why are you establishing that you are not an awful person? There's your compulsion. Link to comment
Spud2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 thank you @PolarBear Yeah that is so true, its like I have to say phrases "I would never hurt anyone "I've never done this, i've never done that" It's so hard to stop!!. But I managed to quite well this evening and distract myself watching some TV! so was happy about that. Hope your well. Link to comment
taurean Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Those phrases are neutralising compulsions and will only strengthen the obsession. Just think "Oh that's just my silly obsession" then refocus your mind away to something beneficial and distracting. Link to comment
