Who can tell? What's the worst for me isn't the same as for you. OCD is creative beyond borders...That's why we have learn to not fall for it's tricks.

@set_me_free:) Using anxiety as proof that you don’t like a thought is pretty dangerous for recovery because then you will never be able to progress. Your brain can get bored of the same thoughts if you think about them over and over. If you are still ruminating about it that’s a symptom of ocd just like anxiety is a symptom. You don’t need either of them they both can be used as forms of reassurance. If there was a solution to the thing you are ruminating about you would have thought of it by now :) Ocd is so tricky but you got this! You might want to check out the “backdoor spike” a lot of people have trouble getting into ocd recovery because of the lack of anxiety that occurs in the backdoor spike.

I don’t believe there is an “ocd” thought. A thought Is just a thought. Ocd would just mean how you respond to it.

Hey
How do you deal with so many bad things that OCD makes you think about? Because ever since my therapist said it might not be OCD, even though that she believe it is, I think a lot that if it isn't, So I created such bad thoughts in my head. And my god, what a horrible thing. I never wanted this. My parents don't deserve such a bad daughter.

Is OCD basically thoughts that are stuck?
Another way to describe it is a loss of ability to let uncomfortable thoughts flow through our minds. It's like a fire alarm going off in our heads and an urgency to work out what these thoughts mean and what we can do about them and it's the exact reason why going to talk therapy is the worst thing that someone with OCD can do.

ocd or phycosis?
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
