I basically got so sick and tired of the thoughts I eventually just stopped running from them, and I turned around and faced them. Wasn't easy, but I figured what do I have to lose, I can always continue running if it doesn't work. And when I faced them, they didn't seem as bad, and It gets better.

I experience intrusive thoughts about both sexual situations and situations in which I hurt my little brother and it used to completely wreck me. I would always fight not to think about it, but of course it just got worse. Now what I do is I have a sort of conversation with myself and the thought in my head. I'll label it as an "intrusive obsessive thought". Then I tell myself what that means, I remind myself that I don't want it to happen, that it's not some kind of suppressed desire and that I cannot control it. Then I challenge the thought, I tell it to go right on ahead, to invade my mind if I wants to, that I don't care because I know I don't really want it. It sounds weird, but it really helps, in fact, I was just doing it when I found this video.

thank you so much. I've had thoughts about hurting every onr I see lately and everyone they happened, i'd tell myself "that'll never happen leave me alone." so og course the thoughts would keep rushing back so for the past few days, I've just let the thoughts happen because I don't need to tell myself they won't happen and I just let them do their thing and they've already been happening way less frequently in only a few days!

I've had OCD and Anxiety for most of my life and intrusive thoughts have been apart of it. Mine have been about self harm or harm to someone in my family from me but I know that I'd never act upon these things, I'm a very happy man with a great life and I found that talking about these intrusive thoughts with a family member has helped me a lot in getting past these thoughts. I've done good this year I think this is the first time this year they've come into my head. It's been two weeks but I have been really good now that I've talked to a family member about them.

Ive come to the conclusion that letting the thought in and not fighting it is the start of the solution. However once I let the thought/s in, my anxiety level rises to a level that its extremely hard for me to get rid of. The result is that I desperately seek for a remedy to my anxiety, and that can usually be exercise, browse the internet to occupy my mind or what it's problematic drinking wine/beer to take the edge off. This is the pattern that does not allow me to get rid of this problem, because after that chain of evens, I'd do anything in my power to not go through that anxiety again, which means I'd try to repress the problematic thought/s.

Really helpful video! Thanks, man. Takes a lot of courage to make these videos. Respect. What I've found useful is remembering other and different intrusive thoughts. This makes you feel less identified with the current intrusive thought. *"Oh, this is like the time when I thought [insert abhorrent/ ridiculous thought]. This is just my mind in an anxious state again."* Also, I've found the more 'abhorrent' the thought > the bigger the reaction > the more compulsive thinking becomes > the more personal identification > the more suppression > the greater the depression (repeat destructive cycle). Most people naturally don't feel attached or identified with these thoughts. But those with a tendency for anxiety/ OCD/ phobias take them more seriously. Another hack I've found useful is saying to myself *"Thanks brain, you're right, that is the worst scenario I can imagine right now. Good job."* This brings a lightheartedness towards intrusive thoughts. It also makes you feel less identified with them - and stops the self-loathing cycle. Daily meditation practice has been life-changing. Buddhism teaches you to become less and less identified with thoughts. This is done by consciously and deliberately *"noticing and allowing"* intrusive thoughts. It's important to remember the human brain is capable of thinking *ANY thought at any time*. But through habituation and desensitization, we can learn to deeply trust ourselves. Equanimity is possible with even our *worst case scenario* (WCS) thoughts. Consistent meditation practice (and CBT mind training) makes this possible. It's funny. Although I can rationally explain intrusive thoughts, I still get caught by them occasionally. However, thanks to a rational understanding (and mind training), 80% or more of my symptoms are gone. In fact, I feel mentally stronger because of OCD! I'm glad I've got this kind of mind. Anxiety and creativity are closely linked. (Just wish I'd this understood this sooner!) *"Whatever feelings arise - whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral - abide contemplating impermanence in those feelings, contemplate fading away, relinquishment, letting go of all those feelings. Contemplating this, one does not cling to anything in this world. When not clinging, there is no agitation. When not agitated, one personally attains Nibbana."* - Buddha Take care, everyone! :)

I’ve developed a kind of phobia about night time because my worst bought with the anxiety/panic response to intrusive thoughts happened at night. So as the sun sets, I start worrying that it’s going to happen again. I went through this cycle 2 years ago and it got better over time. Even got to the point when I had no anxiety from it. Then over the course of 6 months I was working more, sleeping less, and drinking too much coffee and it started up again. Already getting better after a month but I still get anxious when the sun goes down. This time around I’m being healthy as possible, no coffee, and exercise. It is far easier to get over an episode when I’m not exhausted.

after experiencing sexual obsessions with ocd. i felt like i could never be or feel normal ever again.i was effortlessly convinced that because i thought evil, sadistic, cruel, and violent thoughts about people i care about that i secretly didn't love my family and that i'm really a bad person deep inside. I kept trying to find "clues" to prove that i'm a good person by trying to recall moments when i didn't have ocd. it even goes so far as to convince me that it's not the ocd at all, but that i'm in denial of being a bad person. To fight it i just keep reminding myself that the intrusive thoughts, images, ideas are from my mental illness and i am not in danger.

Control what comes into your life what you see and what you hear. That's the point of America you have the freedom to do so you do not have to watch all the senseless violence. This world has always had its share only now it can come into our mind from 30000 different points. Also seek counseling and therapy it's really good medicine!

It's all stored up in your memory bank and it's also called the Overton effect that's when people hear a stupid idea so many times they start to believe it or they start to even think about it. Personally one of the best things you can do is hear no evil see no evil speak no evil. Meaning no scary movies if people are talking about dying excuse yourself or just change the subject and say I don't want to talk about it Embrace Life and talk about living and good things.

Only time I'd harm somebody else is to defend my family. And I'd never fuck a family member that is just fucking gross. But you could hate something 100 percent but intrusive thoughts could still make you think about you doing it. It literally drove me crazy trying to get these thoughts out of my god damned head. I would never do any of these things. I don't fear the the day I'd fo these things CAUSE I'D NEVER DO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. That's not the problem. The problem is that they're in my head to begin with. It disgusts me. It makes me feel like I'm just as bad as the people out there doing that shit. It's gross and fucked up.

what you have to understand is that thoghts like theses are a manifestation, of abstract fear, that is transformed into images of things that you find disgusting, or hate, if you did not find theses things horrible, and wrong, then you would not be bothered by them and, they would not appear, so all the images mean is that you find theses things inappropriate which is normal, the issue is that by trying control what you see or think, you are crating a paradox, that then brings up what ever it is that you think you might do or think about doing as an image. Your mind is transforming abstract thoughts into images that you find freighting basically.

Please remember, your anxious brain is looking for *worst case scenarios*. For you, hurting your children is your WCS. For someone else with OCD, it might abusing an elderly relative. Whatever you find most abhorrent, that's what the anxious mind is drawn to. This simply shows that you CARE about your children the most. Otherwise you wouldn't be bothered.

Also, has anyone got rid of things that might trigger the intrusive thought therefore the anxiety? I have thrown away movies, cd's and t-shirts just because the lyrics, scenes and images triggered thoughts therefore anxiety, and just knowing that they were in my posession would trigger the thought so I had to get rid of them.

Obsessive thoughts sounds like person is overwhelmed. Overwhelm is bombarded by thoughts all at once and frustrating becaz its like cant sift through thoughts fast enough, try shove thoughts out of your mind.

wow this video helped a lot it totally made my day. When I fist had this ocd attack, that is when I suddenly started having thoughts like I won't be able to read or won't be able to understand youtube videos or anything which goes on in the tv even won't be able to write. This video gave me a new way to look at this problem and it also fixed the ocd problem. Now I don't get the anxiety spikes anymore when I have these kinds of thoughts. Thanks alot for this video and would also request few more suggestions or helpful videos to eliminate these anxiety spikes totally because now I know its not the thoughts its actually how we react to these thoughts that is we need to invite all these obsessive intrusive negative thoughts and habituate with this problem am I right?

Very nicely done. I've had some of these thoughts after many years of not much trouble with them. I believe having a child somewhat triggered it. Wondering is this exposure always done in private, or should it be done while it's happening through out the day to some degree. I mean do you work on it only in privacy or therapy, or do you open up more through daily life instead of blocking thoughts out?

My wife had an affair over a year ago. We have worked things out but I cant get the thought of her having sex with someone else out of my mind. I absolutely cannot stop having the thoughts even though I want to. I forgive her and know she is truly repentant and just want to move forward. So if I understand your concept correctly I'm supposed to try and think about it more? Please help because my anxiety is relentless.

I've been to hell and back with this problem but with the amount of research that I have done I seem to be on to something. All these youtube videos that talk about letting the thoughts in and doing absolutely nothing, they are right but they're missing another element. I believe that the reason the mind repeats the thoughts over and over is because we keep rewarding it with a response. I think the way forward is to stop rewarding the unwanted thoughts with another 'reward thought'. I'm still researching but I also think the next stage is to somehow bond or befriend the thought. I'm still trialling these things so I'll let you know if it works.
