Ocd can be just as much about feelings and sensations as it can be about thoughts.

Honestly I sometimes wake up and literally feel like my mind is running through things that could be wrong to focus on. I’ve learned in therapy that anxiety is basically an over supply of the adrenaline/fight or flight response but when that happens and there’s no real danger, OCD creates something to fear. It has helped me to understand some of what’s going on because it makes it easier to accept that it’s happening.

Just go with the flow, focus on something positive that gives you positivity. Don't trigger it

But what you should do is try to let that uncertainty feeling be there. My mistake when this happens is I try to "figure out" the feeling. Its like well Im not thinking about that bad thought anymore but I still feel weird / bad for some reason. Then it starts this whole process "am I depressed" "what if those thoughts werent ocd" "what is wrong with me" "why so i feel this way" This is compulsive rumination a mental ritual. You can do it in response to thoughta or feelings it doesnt matter but you deal with it in the same say. You have to stop the compulsion. I hope that wad relevant advise good luck.

Ocd
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.

Stuck in-between
I don’t know how to deal with the thoughts that come and barely gone. Usually, the brain often remembers and forgets things. People with OCD however struggle with trying to forget the intrusive thoughts because of the imbalance trying to convey what is real and if the thoughts in your head will come true. Just for the past few days, I was having fun and suddenly hit with a wave of obsessive thoughts and making me stuck with nowhere to go.

Advice, pls?
So, yesterday while I was laying in bed, I was relaxing when suddenly I had an intrusive thought about someone, but the thing is that it brought me a sense of enjoyment or calmness for a few seconds before it went away. Once it did, it was only until hours later when I realized what had happened and I began to freak out because I'm reading everywhere that when someone experiences this type of thing, the anxiety happens shortly after the enjoyment or "false" enjoyment. Can OCD do this?
