This one time I got an intrusive feeling that I liked the thoughts and I didn’t. I’m scared of getting that feeling again and I worry about what if I did again. I hate the thoughts and I definitely don’t like them but these intrusive feelings suck and is one of the hardest things to get over :/
That's my biggest problem right now. I got a "good feeling" in my head and it's telling me that I enjoy it
Intrusive thoughts can mean anything, bit trust yourself and trust what you like and are appealed to. Ocd is the doubting disease, don't let the doubting confuse you into thinking your liieng to yourself or a feeling is what you want if you know deep down it isn't.
See. I don't know what I want deep down anymore
@mrein280 I felt the same too, it's normal to feel numb and have no feeling towards anything
It’s pretty hard to prevent the intrusive thoughts and feelings from occurring. However, your reaction to them can be controlled. That takes time, effort, and practice. Try starting with something like, “I’m feeling anxious that I liked an intrusive feeling, I can’t be 100% certain I didn’t now or sometime in the future, I embrace that uncertainty and am willing to live with it happily.” Sit with the uncomfortable feelings produced without compulsions. For me, with time, therapy, and ERP, it got better! I hope you too have a similar experience.
I don’t know if this is similar to what your going through but I’ve been struggling for a while because one time I imagined a thought and it felt like I liked the feeling of doing that action when I imagined it and I’ve been obsessing Over it for so long. It’s really horrible because I get anxiety and stressed over it but at the same time when I imagine it, it feels like I like the feeling of doing that and idk if I’m just confusing the anxiety/urge feeling for me ‘liking the feeling’ but now I’m worried what if I’m desperate to give in to it because it’s felt like an ‘urge’ for so long and now that’s why it feels like I like the feeling of doing that because when I imagine it I’m technically ‘giving in to it in my head’ but it’s really scary and horrible, I’ve been through so many breakdowns i don’t even know how I’m still going, this problem has out me through so much and still is
I hate intrusive feelings so much. Like I'll be obsessing over something and then I "feel" something that could be proof the obsession is true... it feels so real and i feel like a horrible person. I hate ocd so so so much
Through mindfulness and meditation I have found a way to combat intrusive thoughts and have succession a good amount of time. Now, I feel my thoughts have transition into feelings which feels much worse than the actual thought. It’s by far the worst I’ve felt and only pushes my worries and concerns further. Why is this such a difficult battle? Ughh
does any one else have an intrusive thought and you go over it in your head and try to see if you react in a good or bad way? i’ve been having bad intrusive thoughts but i sometimes have this feeling inside that i like it? and i feel it’s right and i agree inside but my other thoughts are saying no i hate it ?!
