Intrusive thoughts outloud

Does anyone get horrible intrusive thoughts where your ocd makes you think that you have said an offensive or inappropriate intrusive thought outloud after thinking it? It causes me to go back to the places where i thought i may have said these intrusive thoughts outloud to check if anyone has reacted and heard this. Deep down i know it is just my ocd convincing me that I have said these intrusive thoughts out loud but I can never be certain because of the bully that is ocd. I just wanted to see if anyone can relate to this as it’s very distressing.

Oh my god yes and I don't know if I've actually said them or not and it feels like I did since I deal with false memories :( And my mind is always scared to say something like that out loud especially now ! I feel like before I was too reckless in thinking before saying some things so now I'm like damn the possibility of me saying one is higher ?

@InkJoy123 I can absolutely relate to what you have said. I deal with false memories ocd too and this definitely seems like a false memories type of ocd for sure. It’s so hard to know if we have said these thoughts outloud or not isnt it? even though we would never want to say something inappropriate as it’s not in our nature and it’s against our morals. Ocd is a bully and causes alot of doubt and ‘what ifs’. Hope it gets better for you soon, best of luck

Yep, but only when it's really bad.

Absolutely I get this as well. I also deal with false memories and sometimes I get a build up of negative thoughts and emotions and I find myself going back to old obsessions that I've laid to rest time and time again. "Did I do that thing? Did I say this horrible thing to someone? Omg am I a horrible person? I need to confess. But what if it's just an OCD obsession (which I deep down know it is), I can't say anything! But I just thought of saying something out loud, did I? Does everyone think badly of me now? Lemme go back to that area and try to relive it in my mind to see if it actually happened." Your description of OCD is very accurate, in that it is a bully.

@lotus5 Thanks for responding. I can totally relate to everything you wrote. I also constantly go back to negative thoughts and emotions that i’ve laid to rest. I completely relate to you when you mentioned about having to go back to the area to relive it in your mind to see if it actually happened after thinking that you have said an intrusive thought out loud and the worry of people thinking badly of you. I’m exactly the same and totally understand how hard this is. I’m sure we can get through this, there is definitely hope for us. Best of luck in your recovery

The Quiet Ones

I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.

Intrusive thoughts

I’ve had many types of OCD, but I gained control over them over the years, but a new one has started to arise. Do y’all ever have scary thoughts about something you might do? Recently I’ll get extremely uncomfortable no matter where I am because I can’t stop thinking about “what if I screamed really loud in my lecture class tomorrow?” And other stupid stuff like that. Also, this one is kind of funny, but sometimes when I use the bathroom I pause before because I think “what if I’m actually in class right now?” I also cannot control the thoughts about past embarrassing moments. I know everyone does, but I will become visibly uncomfortable and harp on something from years ago. This happens all throughout the day. Also, does anyone else do things that resemble tics when you get these thoughts. Like when they happen I’ll curse under my breath or like jerk my head a little bit. When I’m in public I keep it low key but when I’m alone sometimes I’ll physically get up and pace or something when those thoughts happen. Just curious if anyone has had these experiences

Intrusive words voice and details?! Someone ?

Is the following happening to anyone else? - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a voice, say, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?
