Hi everyone!
I need some help..
I just keep having these intrusive thoughts about the people i love very much. The intrusive unwanted thoughts are about their looks. And it’s so stupid but i keep having panic attacks because of the thoughts. I am a very positive person in general but my ocd is very bad at the moment. I LOVE to give people compliments.I am also pregnant so maybe my hormones are making things worse. (I’m not on medication because of the pregnancy)
How can i stop the thoughts, i can’t even look them in the eyes because i am afraid of my own mind..
Can someone help me

I also have a history with Rocd, Hocd and what not..
but this theme is so weird. I had an intrusive thought like “ha what if you would obsess about their looks” and boom.. i keep obsessing about the way they talk, their eyes, their mouth. And when that theme goes away, i keep having thoughts about my feet in my shoes, like how my toes are in my shoes and i just want them to be apart and not touching eachother. Or my fingers touching eachother.
My ocd has never been this bad.. it’s like i’m going crazy and i just can’t enjoy anything

I don't know we can stop thoughts - trying not to think something guarantees it, don't you think?
But I have learned to disregard some thoughts... That merely takes practice.
