I've had ocd for 11 years now, and I've made great progress. However the obsessions have evolved from obsessing over the physically impossible to things that could actually happen. I worry things like "what if I yell an obscenity during class?" Or "what if I harm someone?" Or "what if I embarrass myself in public?" Things like that. Though I am almost 100% sure in the moment I would not do these things, it is easy for me to obsess over them simply because they COULD happen. Has anyone else had this and if so, how did you handle it?
This is very normal for instrusive thoughts and happens very often in OCD sufferers (like myself).
The simply fact you are worrying about doing this shows you will not do this. The trick to rid these thoughts for good are to not believe them and give them any worry . Simply have the thought and try move on. I know this is easier said than done but it is so effective . CBT will teach you this. Have you had it before? Xxx
Thank you for the advice! It was reassuring to hear that my worrying is only an indication that I won't act out of impulse. And no, I haven't had CBT, I've been medicated, but it didn't work out.
Get CBT Hun , it will change your life. You have to work with it but you will get better xxx
