Here’s some affirmations to add to your scripts if you’re into manifesting but you have intrusive thoughts:

• These are just thoughts, they do not define me.

• I am safe in this moment.

• Thoughts are not facts.

• I am doing the best I can, and that is enough.

• It’s okay to have difficult thoughts. I still deserve peace.

• I treat myself with peace and kindness.

• I return my focus to what I can control and change.

• Thoughts come and go. I do not have to engage with them.

• Having intrusive thoughts does not make me a bad person.

• I am allowed to think without self judgement.

• It’s okay to struggle. I am still worthy of peace and love.

• I am stronger than my thoughts.

• Every breath I take grounds me more in the present.

• I choose to focus on what I can control, not what I fear.

• I am not my anxiety.

• I am dominant over my thoughts.

• My body is healthy.

• I have a freedom of choice.

• My thoughts cannot harm me.

me rn I genuinely cannot cope

[bylersboy]

hey y'all I know we hate on affirmations (and by y'all I mean myself because so many of them are like "I love myself sooooo muchhhh 🎀" and it feels fake as shit and I hate it) but like honestly ive been trying to find ways to help myself cope with fuck ass moral OCD cause ya know it makes my life horrible and its been kind of fun to think of affirmations. its nice to have time to be mindful of what im writing down as well because ocd is a disorder that seeks reassurance and so just getting reassurance doesn't really do much in the long run. anyways here's what ive written in my journal so far !!

my actions do not have malicious intent

I am not the root of injustice

I spread kindness

I am allowed to enjoy things

obviously like its great to be mindful of the injustice in the world and to be conscious of the things you buy and spend money and etc etc but as someone with OCD its not a disorder where these thoughts of "you shouldn't have bought this and you should have reblogged that activism post" are helpful and mindful. these thoughts are internally destructive and they just create such horrible spirals because ill buy a nice piece of clothing and thing "wow I shouldn't have bought that someone else could've wanted this more than me and i'm a bad person for taking this opportunity away from someone" or like today I saw lots of homeless people because I was in the city and I thought "if that homeless person asked me to go into the store and buy him a water bottle I dont know what I would do because if I bought a water bottle it would be plastic and then I would be contributing to the spread of micro plastics and the deterioration of our environment but if I DIDNT buy the water then I would be a horrible person for not helping this homeless man" and so I guess my point is affirmations might not be true for every single person. someone with a shopping addiction shouldn't be like "hey its okay im allowed to enjoy things im excusing my addiction to spending money on clothes" but someone with OCD who struggles with these kinds of thoughts might really benefit from these kinds of affirmations. OKAY THAT WAS SUCH A RAMBLE. im not going to apologize cause its my blog and I can post whatever I want teehee but I do want to say that I think this blog might have more frequent posts about my mental health specifically OCD. not anything really depressing but things that are educational so if you dont want to see that and you just want your dash to be a fun thing where you look at fan art and stuff feel free to unfollow cause you have free will !! okay bye guys

Read daily affirmations at a set time, not when you’re in distress :)

Not every day has to be “successful” or feel a step forward. Sometimes it’s okay to just brush your teeth in the morning and eat cookies and breath, it’s fine.

There is no failure - only feedback.

I do not need reassurance I do not need reassurance I do not need reassurance

Just because I think it doesn’t make it real just because I think it doesn’t make it real

I am not my thoughts I am not my thoughts I am not my thoughts

dude whatever it literally doesn’t matter
