Thoughts are random fleeing "things" flying in your mind. Desires is actually something you want to do. Ocd mixes them both.

A desire is something that when you think of it you like it and would like to do that thing. A thought is just something completely random that is just in your brain and sometimes these thoughts can be disturbing and your ocd decides to latch onto it and make it something it’s not to a point where you might think the thought it a desire when it’s not .

Can you resist answering that? Can you imagine that ocd is posing that question to you and reply by saying “nice try ocd”?

Wanted or unwanted thoughts?
Help! My OCD has caught onto this thought for awhile and I keep spinning on it. I know you are supposed to follow your values and what your actions suggest with OCD, but what if that is even blurry right know? For example my whole life I wanted to be with a man, and now my OCD is having major intrusive thoughts about women. How do you tell if those thoughts are wanted or not? I can’t figure out if I like the thoughts or not. I’m trying to live the life “I want” but what if I don’t know what that is?

What does “real” feel like to yall
I see people post about how they feel like their thoughts are real. For me personally I deal with sexual intrusive thoughts and they feel real to me because it feels like I enjoy them. And when I say “it feels like I like them” that’s the same for me as saying “I like them” but some people say that’s different. Idk just curious as to what you guys feel!

Question
