Most of our thoughts are automatic. Constructed and logical thoughts are the minority. The one you want to keep are useful (do they help you ?). If they're not, let them go. They can be OCD or not, it's not important
Thereās no such thing as an OCD thought. A thought is a thought. Labeling your thoughts can be compulsive. I know that when I did it became another mental compulsion. You donāt have to find out the difference.
This was one of my first themes (didnāt have intrusive thoughts until i started fearing that i would after reading a comment when researching), i started analyzing my thoughts to ease/fix my anxiety until i was diagnosed w/OCD i finally realized these were mental compulsions, i would go in circles in my head over and over trying to figure it out which caused me to almost have a mental breakdown. We have to let go of the fear of our thoughts and the fear of OCD, it will finally lose its power over our mind.
With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
Please how can an intrusive thought be distinguished from our own thoughts ?
how can you tell the difference between rocd and a real thought you should act on?
