Intrusive thoughts for me are like almost always there, even if I’m shopping in a supermarket, I’m scared I’ll do something innapropriate, like I have no control of what I’ll say to someone. Eventually all these intrusive things are crowding out all out of my other thoughts. I try to change the thoughts by thinking of interesting and exciting things but it doesn’t work. Any ideas?
