POCD : Unwanted Feelings And Urges

Ocd is more than intrusive thoughts: it’s also intrusive feelings, urges, and images.

OCD uses every trick in the book to keep us scared and hooked on our obsessions. I’d expect you to have these feelings. You absolutely belong here. So many people here can relate.
