Does anybody know how to deal with intrusive thoughts?
I have had intrusive thoughts since aged 4, am now 29, and was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to use CBT to deal with this.

Dont fight the thought, embrace it and let it flood over u. If u do this everytime, eventually ur mind will b bored of it and may decrease. This is sonethkng I learnt in cbt.

You need to get training in CBT from a health care professional. I have books but really you need help to do it. I have the thoughts and I am your age. I am seein a psyche as mine derives from insecurities within myself.
