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

Why is my mind saying I should say my thoughts out loud and that it will be ok, I don't want to because it goes against my beliefs and it freaks me out because my mind is like you've done this and this an other bad things this can't hurt you, saying it will give you peace and it just randomly started yesterday and idk what to do. It's like I have no will power to want to stop it's like my mind wants me to say it and idk what to do.

wrote a very triggering post. this wasnt supposed to happen. im starting to believe that i'm a ****phile that suppress its feelings. "Our brains are wired to respond to certain stimuli, like attractiveness, quickly and automatically. This can happen even if we don't consciously want to feel that way. In your case, the combination of the trigger and your brain's automatic reaction might have contributed to the discomfort you felt." but it's wrong. it wasnt supposed to happen. it shouldn't be allowed in my brain to perceive the look of attractiveness in the legs and body of someone that looked so young... i didnt have desire for it though. i was disturbed and distressed when it happened and as i felt and noticed this perception and reaction. it's crazy to think that none of this would have happened if i didnt trigger myself in 2021 at 16 years old.
