My name’s Lizzy. I know there are a lot of blogs already out there with help for intrusive thoughts, but I wanted to make my own since lately I've been struggling very badly with them. (And no, I don't mean thoughts related to things like wanting to cut your hair; those would be known as impulsive thoughts. I mean intrusive thoughts that are often violent, gory, creepy, and/or go against your moral standings. So, thoughts that you do not want, enjoy, or control).
Anyway, on here I'll be posting resources, advice, reminders, and other such things! Please keep in mind the following!
Ask Requirements
Must be SFW, and don't be a creep!
Please be respectful of everyone!
Keep in mind I cannot diagnose you for OCD or other conditions; I am only here to talk you through your intrusive thoughts! Nor am I licensed or anything like that. The only thing I can provide is validation and encouragement that you're not alone! (My own intrusive thoughts run the full gamut, pretty much. If you've thought it, I've probably thought something very similar).
DMs are open but please stick to the same rules as here!
I’m always free to talk if you need to. And, if you want/are comfortable with it, I can pray for you too💜

To everyone out there struggling with ocd, whether it be pure-o, relationship ocd, iocd, pocd, zocd, harm ocd sexually taboo ocd, otherwise taboo ocd, ocd surrounding numbers, checking ocd, or any other form of ocd I forgot to mention, I LOVE YOU. Please don’t forget that. You aren’t alone in your struggles. Everything is going to be okay, nothing is going to end in catastrophe. You are going to be okay. I love you all so much, you’re all so strong just for being here.
but if you're in the OCD tag looking for reassurance or chasing a compulsion, I'm gonna need you to put your phone down. go on, put it down. and i want you to say out loud,
"Maybe the thoughts are right. Maybe they're not. Either way, I will be okay."
that's all you have to do. no more googling or tag searching, you've given OCD all the attention it deserves. you can go do something else now.
the monster in your head isn't in control. you are. good luck ❤️

You have been battling these issues for so long, give yourself some credit for how much you overcame. For how much you fight. For how much you try. For the time you take to care for your health.
a lot of times a post will be like "youre not bad for having violent intrusive thoughts" and then someone in the notes will inevitably be like "yeah its only bad if you act on them" and like bro i cannot tell you how fucking unhelpful and misguided that statement is in this context.
like, yes, having negative impulses that you dont act on doenst make you a bad person, but intrusive thoughts are not impulses. the whole thing with violent intrusive thoughts (and intrusive thoughts in general) in OCD is that the person experiencing them very much Does Not Want to act on them, yet is terrified they'll "lose control" and act on them regardless of how much they don't want to.
treating these thoughts as if theyre actually something a person could potentially "give in to" and act out is fundamentally misunderstanding what intrusive thoughts are, and also plays into the very fear that a lot of people's thoughts are based on.
I won’t be doing many Finch posts on this blog (unless people want me to) but I just wanted to show off my birb’s outfit based on Wirt from OTGW :) (also featuring her frog micropet Jason Funderberker)

That's not even.. what's going on (re the last tweet). People with ocd aren't contemplating sexually abusing kids, they're afraid they might sexually harm a child by mistake, or be a pedophile without realising, or any number of similar anxieties, but the point is that it becomes an anxious fixation because the person finds it so repellant. It's such an incredibly common ocd symptom, but most people are understandably terrified to talk about it
I remember reading a study where a therapist was helping people with similar anxieties - though not involving children - work through them. One client said she was afraid she was going to murder the therapist, not that she wanted to but that she'd somehow lose control of herself or an accident would happen. The solution? The therapist brought a kitchen knife to an appointment (with the patients consent), handed it to her and basically said "okay, what now?" Turns out nothing now, nothing happened, and it helped the client deal with the phobia
Obviously that approach isn't workable with something like pedophilia/csa anxiety but I think it highlights the true nature of what the anxiety actually is. It's irrational anxiety that comes from a deep fear and disgust of csa, not a desire to perpetrate it
just a gentle reminder, even if you're feeling good right now it doesn't mean you're not struggling. being happy does not automatically mean things aren't hard, don't let anyone tell you otherwise <33333
