OCD will do everything in its power to make you think that your thoughts are true and that you are the exception. Stay strong.

Yeah. But I just feel so horrible to even have the theme I'm having :( so not just because of how it makes me feel but because I have it in the first place

Hate = resistance = compulsion... therfore making them stronger. Don't love them, but try and reduce your resistance. Have some self compassion, you can't stop them. Do ERP on your worst case scenario and work to accept how horrible and awful it could be. Watch for other compulsions that will need to be dealt with slowly reduce them. Work on accepting that your worst case scenario could be true, accept its painful and it hurts really bad that it could be true, Ultimately freedom will be found when you no longer fear the outcome of your obsession, this comes from acceptance

Also, acceptance does NOT mean you like or agree with the intrusive. Its simply acknowledging the thought is there. "This is an OCD thought" Then ignore it. Don't fight, argue, or reason with it. Don't try to convince yourself it's not true. Your anxiety will go crazy at first. The key is not doing any compulsions. Then your anxiety will peak and start to decline. It takes practice and time. Just because the thought FEELS real doesn't mean it is. Intrusive thoughts don't mean anything unless WE attach meaning to them. Everyone has intrusive thoughts

I hate how my mind is making me doubt of my intentions when i clearly know that I don’t have any desires to act on my thoughts. It makes my intentions feel so uncertain, and sometimes it would even make me feel like if I wanted to act on my thoughts when I actually don’t, because I wouldn’t be doubting if I did. So since I feel my intentions so uncertain I need to come to an answer, and sometimes it is so damn hard to get that answer, which makes me anxious and disturbed. It would also make me think of my past like, how were you okay without having these thoughts? Or makes me think of my future like, will you be okay without these thoughts? So it would make me think that these thoughts are really desires and I won’t be okay unless I act on them. As horrible as it sounds. And I don’t know if someone gets this too but, it would also make me doubt my feelings. When my family tells me cute things like “I love you” and stuff, I would feel so bad, because my thoughts are towards them. So I would say “ily too” but I feel like an hypocrite saying it, or like I don’t mean it at all, so it makes me doubt if I really love them or not. This is all so overwhelming, and I have gone through so many disturbing and crazy thoughts, feelings and situations, that I don’t know if this might be OCD.

Does ocd ever really make you believe that deep deep down it’s all true and real? I hate that damn feeling. You just can’t trust your thinking.

Intrusive feelings
This one time I got an intrusive feeling that I liked the thoughts and I didn’t. I’m scared of getting that feeling again and I worry about what if I did again. I hate the thoughts and I definitely don’t like them but these intrusive feelings suck and is one of the hardest things to get over :/
