I am having my thoughts again, for some reason my mind is convinced that my mum is taking the toilet brush and rubbing on things I use, i hate these thoughts and she also finds it really offensive.
Anyone have any ideas?

i guess you just need to think about it rationally, like how would she have time to do it when i know you're always on gaurd about things like that. Also i just though, your room would smell bad, if she did that.

I get bad thoughts like those, I moved out of the family home at 15 because i thought my mom was poisening my food. She was so upset when she found out, I felt so guilty whe i got better. I guess the only thing you can do is try to remember its very unlikely. Try to rationalise.

When you are thinking these thoughts try to focus on something else or do something to get your mind away from those thoughts maybe watch a favorite TV show or leave the room and distract yourself.

im sorry to hear you are having these intrusive thoughts. i guess what i do when these kind of thoughts come on, is take a few deep breathes and tell myself that these thoughts arent real, they are just part of the OCD. my psychologist tells me that we cant stop these thoughts from coming, but we can tell ourselves its just the OCD and try to focus on something positive. keep telling yourself your mum would never do that, its just the horrible OCD putting distressing thoughts into my mind. also try asking yourself if there is any physical evidence, if it had been rubbed on things you use, you would have smelt it and you would see marks. try and keep telling yourself, the toilet brush has not been rubbed on my things, my mum would never do that, its just the OCD, i am ok. OCD thoughts can seem really real, but we have to just keep telling ourselves that things are going to be ok, and our bad thoughts are just the OCD giving us a hard time. you cant stop these thoughts from coming as i said before, but its just the OCD and you really have to try and focus and take part in the things you love. i hope some of this helps, take care, Dinah
