Does your ocd make you ACTUALLY feel like you want the thoughts??

I cringe when I think about them but ocd jumps in and says you like those thoughts

So true..just trying to move on from it. Trying to notice that it's just another ocd moment and that it's not actually real or me

Yup. I have SO OCD and it sucks whenever I’m doing an ERP exercise, my ocd tells me that I like it and that whatever I’m feeling is true. It takes a lot of courage to accept the uncertainty

@Crawfish I struggle with pocd too, would you mind elaborating if you feel comfortable? Stuff like this happens to me all of the time and I feel so alone like no one experiences it quite like I do, but this sounds like something I’ve experienced

@Crawfish OCD is always gonna be there. But if we can accept the thoughts as thoughts, we’ll be better!! You’ll have good and bad days, but stay true to your values and take it easy on yourself
