I had a question for anyone willing to answer, what if your getting better at treating your ocd and once u get a disturbing thought you don’t feel guilty. That causes me to think that I’m a bad person because I don’t feel guilt. Then people will try to claim that if u do feel guilty about your intrusive thoughts that ur a good person I don’t get it .

I feel this is pretty common in the beginning of recovery. Getting treatment and finally starting to concur your anxiety, your OCD will start to want to trick you into thinking you haven’t gotten any better. This is a good example of an exposure you can use, because your OCD at this time wants you to continue to still do compulsions and find answers.

I feel the same exact way, the first two weeks I felt terrible when I had the thoughts and now I don’t get much guilt from them which makes me think I like them and it makes me think I’m a bad person
