Anyone else just feel like something is wrong soo you search for intrusive thoughts but you weren’t having them and now you start to think you forced the thought? Idk if that makes sense lol
This makes sense to me! With anxiety and OCD our brains are experiencing “danger” signals even when there is no danger. Those false alarms are what give us the feeling of anxiety, and then we start trying to search for some “reason” they exist (something for the OCD/anxiety to latch onto). The way to interrupt that cycle is to just let the feeling be, notice “I’m feeling anxious” and keep it moving! Without trying to identify a cause or check our thoughts, since that can be a compulsion.
@Killian Ohhh ok see this makes sense. Thank you
