TW TW: SOCD:::: Does anyone have intrusive thoughts without the anxiety. Like the intrusive thoughts turn comforting? At first I’ll begin with an obsession about giving myself an autopsy and obsess over visuals and senses. (I tried to use the potentially least triggering obsession I’ve had for a reason) I’ll feel ashamed and alone and anxious. It will consume my life causing me to space out during classes or work to think of these obsessions. When I come back to reality, I always got super anxious that someone could read my thoughts or somehow someone would figure out what i was thinking about. After a while, the obsession turns from anxiety provoking to comforting. Like when I am stressed out from life I turn to these obsessions to feel comfort. Does anyone else feel this way?
