Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with managing intrusive thoughts. It’s great to hear that implementing coping mechanisms and practicing mindfulness has been helpful for you. It’s also awesome that you’ve found support from a therapist and a support group - having a sense of community and understanding can make a huge difference. As a 22-year-old man dealing with similar challenges, it’s really encouraging to hear that there is hope for managing intrusive thoughts. I’ve been struggling with finding effective coping strategies, so your post has given me some good ideas to try out. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on staying strong!
