I think that’s the whole point. Overcoming intrusive thoughts means not caring when they show up.

I feel this. Sometimes they really hit me then sometimes I’m so exhausted that all of the thoughts just don’t bother me anymore and I’m always just like “ya know whatever”

That’s exactly how I feel, I just let them be at this point but they do end up getting really bad when I feel like I don’t have control over them. It’s just exhausting I’m tired of doing complusions and having to do everything perfect

That’s how I feel! Sometimes it makes it better cuz I’m not giving them too much attention but sometimes it feels like it’s getting worst. It starts to feel more real cuz I don’t react. Like sometimes I’m calm but feel the anxiety in my chest

Having intrusive thoughts not bother you is the whole point 🤣 I have intrusive thoughts, feelings, and images all the time but I’m still in recovery. Why? Because I simply don’t care. They mean nothing to me. They can pop up whenever they want but thoughts are just thoughts; they don’t matter.

OCD
So I’ve noticed that my OCD has calmed down, I’m getting less intrusive thoughts but I feel more uncertain than ever. Is this normal for recovery?

Desensitization?
Is anyone else sort of desensitized by their intrusive thoughts? I still get slight discomfort, and I don't like them, but I think I've been becoming numb to them in a way? It might just be a mental drain. I've been having an anxiety spike due to them for a month now.

Scary thoughtsss
Is there something wrong with me if I’m not disgusted by my intrusive thoughts anymore like the disgust feeling has been gone for months now and why are my thoughts feel like they’re literally so close happening inside my brain why can I lowkey physically feel the images of that makes sense,Why do I get adrenaline why do I get a weird tingle my lips sometimes make an awkward like position when I get the thoughts it’s like I’m having a glitch idek which thought is intentional which one is intrusive but there bad thoughts and I don’t want them to be the truth about me but I literally cannot get myself to just feel relaxed even if they’re present like I actually get genuine headaches and feel uneasy for hours after having intrusive thoughts and I hate how it’s always the same kinda thoughts and sensations feelings etc around those thoughts out of nowhere when I’m just chilling they come in before when I had it is be like okay ew weird thought now I’m like what if I actually like this and I’m in denial uGHHH HATE MY BRAIN
