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
What to do when we feel guilty about our ocd checking and compulsive behaviors?
I’m currently struggling with guilt from checking OCD. By this I mean, I feel guilty and shameful by my OCD checking because I feel as that was immoral and wrong and I really don’t know what to do. How can I fight this?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
