My therapist just said to me that I have a self sabotage mechanism: every time that I feel pleasure/happiness, a lot of intrusive thoughts/bad feelings come and ruin the moment! (That how my rocd works!) So I think that things are related yes!

Thanks yes. I always feel like when I have fun something will go horribly wrong because I let my guard down.

Well, for me this happens with eating, and in my relationship... every time that I'm having fun with my bf my head says something like "are you sure you really like him? Yeah you should probably broke up" So FRUSTRATING

This is how it goes, unfortunately. OCD wants to distract you from your joy so that you can focus on its obsessions. It's best to leave it alone, it's trying to obtain your attention as always.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

cause immense guilt when receiving gifts? Or when someone is nice to you, the guilt just floods every vein of your existence. I feel so awful :( awful about my compulsions, about some of my thoughts, about who OCD has made me. My boyfriend just gifted me something, and I have such a heavy feeling in my chest. Worst part is: when I’m not feeling guilty I’m spiraling over that gift was enough, if it could’ve been “better.” I feel like an idiot. I don’t understand why I’m like this

I've had a horrific subtype that has been affecting my day to day life. I think it's snuck in due to good things occurring in my life. If I can't forgive myself for my past, why should others? I'm happy knowing I'm not alone with these thoughts, but knowing it was OCD all along and I could have suffered so much less if I was diagnosed as a child... Decades worth of compulsive checking, thinking I'm worse than a monster... I just want to breathe normally again. I feel guilt with each breath. It's too much.
