It feels like my mind or ocd now is attracted to any and everything thats bad. Its forcing me to think like the exact opposite of the person that i am. Every time i see something bad or concerning happen whether its on the news or social media i think normally at first, but then my mind tries to make me second guess and think i like the bad thing thats happening and it scares me. Its destroying me right now. Does anybody else go through this? Does this go away/get better?

I’m going through this too

Yes this deff happens to me, I can’t hear about anything bad or it triggers me

Me too...

Yeah I deffo get this. Have you seen Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban? Watch a YouTube clip of the ‘boggart’ scene. I’m a CBT therapist and use this clip to explain how OCD is like the boggart, it takes something that seems scary and bad and takes on this form to suck you into the avoidance and compulsions of OCD. It gets SO much better with ERP I can vouch for that.
