Feelings and ocd
Can feelings also apply to ocd. Like feeling you want to hurt someone when you actually really don’t, but there’s that feeling ??

I’m reminded of a saying with regards to feelings…They’re not facts. It’s like a panic attack. You feel like you’re getting a heart attack and you get to the ER just to find out there’s nothing wrong. I’m sorry about over dramatizing. Just because you ‘feel’ you want to hurt someone doesn’t mean you have to. Hoping this helps you!!!
I think your ocd can convince you that you do want to or feel like you want to

What exactly do you feel ?
🥲
I’ve asked this before and got no response but can ocd try to make you feel a certain way that you don’t actually feel? Such as telling you you’re jealous or upset in a situation when you don’t even care or feel that way at all. Can ocd cause you to feel the emotion along with the intrusive thought even though it’s not your true feelings?
Can harm ocd thoughts appear like “i want” or “im going to” someone please lmk if they experienced this 😣
I posted about this the other day and a therapist responded that if it has the usual ocd tells, then it’s most likely ocd. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. They say even if it’s new for you chances are others have had the same or similar ocd experience. So, this is new for me and just like when I get an intrusive thought i’ve recently been getting what I call intrusive emotions. I will feel something like sad or jealous in a situation when in reality I don’t feel that way at all. For example, my ocd targets certain family members and if one of them is watching tv and thinks a woman is pretty i’ll suddenly feel sad or jealous when I don’t actually care or feel that way because that’s my family member and I don’t think about or feel for them in any inappropriate way. Also, sometimes when I have a harm intrusive thought my ocd will say that I want something horrible to happen to my family member and I will feel like I actually want it but that’s not what I want or how I feel at all. Is there anyone who has had this or something similar happen?
