How far the ocd thoughts can go? I mean what can be the worst ocd thought?

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.
Whatever will upset you the most and whatever will get you to stay hooked
but what if those thoughts doesn't make me anxious anymore?
@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.
@Keepongoing Thanks for explaining ❤️
I don’t believe there is an “ocd” thought. A thought Is just a thought. Ocd would just mean how you respond to it.
