Intrusiveimages

I’m a bit out of practice with how to not do compulsions when being invaded by egodystonic intrusive thoughts. My psychologist and psychiatrist have both confirmed that the intrusive thoughts are the opposite of who I am (egodystonic), and is NOT me at all whatsoever. What the intrusive thoughts try to do is impersonate me by using words such as “I”, “me”, etc. to make it sound as if it’s first person even thought it’s not, it’s an egodystonic intrusive thought being very tricky and manipulative. Does anyone have any strategies of how to refrain from doing compulsions? #IntrusiveThoughts #Intrusiveimages #Intrusive #Anxiety .

I can only assume that’s what this is. I know a lot of people get intrusive thoughts like “throw yourself over the cliff” but this is a bit different. I get the thought but a picture or even a video or gif comes with the thought so instead of just thinking it, I see it too. I see myself doing whatever the intrusive thought says. Anyone else experience this? It’s weird and can be frightening at times. #Intrusiveimages #IntrusiveThoughts #ObsessiveCompulsivePersonalityDisorder
