how to manage my intrusive thoughts
Right now i just got a new obsession intrusive thoughts so it not so good for me personally when i am alone and not distracted XD.I got this new obsessive thought because my friends though it was fun talking about scary story and about "evil singers" (i cant actually say it even by typing because i get anxiety and stuff).So it bad right now i cant listen to music without getting anxiety (good thing,when i am distracted and i hear music in the background i dont pay attention to it).That day i couldn't draw because i was thinking of that.So do u got any tips for me like how to manage coping with it,so it can eventually go away like some of my intrusive thoughts that i had in the past?
You mentioned that your intrusive thoughts are not bad when you are distracted. I know that it's not realistic to always be busy- there are going to be moments where you are sitting home... but when these thoughts start to take over I would try to do something like forcing yourself to leave the house and go for a nice walk or go to borders and get a coffee and indulge in a good book. I would keep yourself productive and active as much as you can. Healthy distractions help with ocd. I try to do this myself. Are you on any medications?
Definitely look into someone who teaches CBT. A lot of people with ADHD or ADD also suffer from OCD and anxiety.
It just went away my intrusive thought out of the random in the past but then it get overtake by another though XD.I do have a therapist but i still haven't done therapy for the OCD,i been doing therapy for my ADHD but it's manage now so i want to learn how to cope with my thoughts so i cant react to the though that i am having at a public place so i wont make people think i am weird if the ocd gets worse one day.
