Hey Julia! I definitely can relate to this sentiment. For me, understanding my personal values was integral to my recovery process. Listing out what I truly have valued over the years of my life, and charting them out on paper, helped me differentiate my intrusive thoughts from who I am. It's also important to note that this idea itself can be a thought spiral and a rumination compulsion. Answering these questions is OCD's sneaky way of getting you to continue compulsions which fill you with even more self-doubt. I would encourage you to watch these two videos by Nathan Peterson labelled "What if I like my thoughts?" and "Me or OCD?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4NJGtvCAUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4NJGtvCAUY Hope these resources are helpful and good luck in your recovery :)

Pls answer i beg yall
So recently my mind is trying to make me feel like I accept the thoughts, like I'm ok with for example loving X person. After I get a thought like that and I realize it I get anxious and, like right now, I cry for 1 hour+ on the bathroom floor. I feel exhausted and I want to know if I'm the only one having this.

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
