The good thoughts could be testing what your brain thinks so much that it's overwhelming it. Maybe tho I'm not sure sorry since I have no clue of your situation. But that is my best guess.

If you have a therapist maybe talk to them to make sure. But for me when u get intrusive thoughts (I say this all the time in here lol) I give my OCD a name and tell it to shut up because that isn't me or that I have things to focus on other than this. Challenging it will feel bad but in the end it's helping you rearrange your brain cells to how they react so... yes I would recommend challenging your self

Your OCD is not you no matter how much it tries to tell you otherwise. The fact that you are so upset that your brain could be right shows that it isn’t. You are strong and you will get through this. It’s hard, but deep down you know yourself. If you want to be good it’s because you are good no matter what intrusive thoughts your brain might throw at you.

When my brain makes me second guess myself I think about what I really want even if my brain says I'm wrong. That is the real you. The part that knows your brain shouldnt be believe that you are bad is the real you. Your OCD is stopping you from believing that you can be good but you are good. You know that and that's why there is a battle. Not even a battle because you are you despite what OCD says

Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....
