The Difference Between Intrusive Thoughts and OSDD Parts
💙 What it says on the tin.
Since I was 14, I started integrating myself within the system community on Discord (etc.) and I feel like it reinforced and brought forth a lot of bad habits into adulthood. Specifically, over the years the belief that every part has to be listened to, acknowledged, and accepted because everything is said for a “reason” has been a real problem online over the years.
I got professionally diagnosed with OSDD-4 early this year, and was told to do the exact opposite; 99% if not all of these thoughts are intrusive or harmful in nature — it’s done me a lot better to block out those thoughts entirely and discount them as intrusive rather than a discussion that needs to be had.
Has anyone else had this issue? How have you gotten over it? And are you currently in CDD communities that may do the same? I haven’t been in one since 2019, so I want to see if it’s gotten better after quarantine...
