I don't have intrusive thoughts too much, really, but I have, to some degree, OCD (it's not diagnosed or anything, but it's enough that I can spend 5-10 minutes doing repetitive actions at one time, and it's much worse when I'm not busy - just as your intrusive thoughts are - since I end up thinking about it more and then obsessing over it). In any......   reply

Mostly in my life, where some morbid thoughts come in my head, and I usually keep myself busy. Like when thoughts of death came into my head I would always look at something funny or would try to think of a very weird and impossible death that would end up really funny. (I know, I can't change my weirdness lol) When I felt lonely I would go outside......   reply

Honestly for a long time I coped in super unhealthy ways. Everything from running away from home, to sex, to drugs and self harm. But I also had a lot of other shit going on. But eventually when the OCD drugs didn’t work I did a kind of DIY behavior modification. My OCD was bad, like I couldn’t function bad. Compulsions took up hours of time an......   1 reply

Uhmm well, I have OCD, depresion, anxiety. Since I also have migraine and the medication to treat it include anti depressants, I don't take anything else. What I do is meditation, the mind-elimination method. What it does is to bring back every memory you have and then remove every emotion attached to it. The result is that you no longer feel the e......   2 reply

My intrusive thoughts usually come about due to low self-esteem and depression. Keeping busy works until the depression kicks in and I'm unable to get out of bed. Rational thinking "That's not right" "I feel that way but it's not true because" goes a long way to prevent a tragedy, but it doesn't stop the thoughts or feelings. What I do is listen t......   1 reply

Some of my intrusive thoughts are.. well, screams telling myself, "I want to cry" or "I want to die" over and over again. I'm not suicidal but my inner thoughts, intrusive thoughts, tend to be yelling at me. Other times, occasionally a flash of a scene that COULD happen passes my mind, such as well, for example, about a month ago I saw baby chicks......   1 reply

In my opinion it´s not enough to fight some intrusive thoughts. It´s important to find the source, why they keep coming. If you understand yourself and your thoughts, it´s easier to deal with those thoughts. And the most important rule while reflecting yourself: be objectively and never judge yourself. What kind of thoughts do you have? In wh......   1 reply

Learn to shut your mind off, take a step back, and ground yourself in the moment. Basically I tell myself, if you can't think good thoughts then you're not going to think anything at all. Once you can do that, you can go back and look at what your thoughts are telling you, if there is some issue that you need to be dealing with in your life. But f......   reply

This is a hard question for me to answer because although I get them pretty often, I never really have to deal with them. When I catch myself having intrusive thoughts I just think "yikes" and move on with my life. The only real way to deal with them in my experience is to accept that they will happen and not let them affect you too much. They suck......   2 reply

Try exercising or picking up a new hobby. I've dealt with severe depression since my early teens, and the only thing that seems to calm my mind down is a long walk or bicycle ride. Drawing and writing are also great ways to relieve some negative emotions and ease your mind. Most importantly, talk to people about your thoughts. Even if you can't tal......   reply
