iām so sorry youāre going through this :( iāve had this before and itās important to remember that these thoughts are just that: they are thoughts. they are not you, and they are not voices. i promise you, you are not crazy. ocd likes to convince us all sorts of horrible things but we must remember that itās just ocd. i really hope youāre doing well x

Typical OCD. I suggest speaking to your OCD therapist about this so you can do ETP on it. Also, hereās stuff to do at home: -Instead of giving into your OCD, read this article about ERP scripting and do exactly what it says: https://www.shalanicely.com/aha-moments/erp-scripting-for-ocd/ -Read The Hidden Power of Swearing at Your OCD: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/beyond-the-doubt/201711/the-hidden-power-of-swearing-at-your-ocd

A good way to tell apart intrusive thoughts and hearing voices is to identify whether the voice youāre hearing sounds like your own or if it sounds like someone elseās voice other than your own. If the thought sounds like your own voice itās likely intrusive. If the voice sounds very different from your own voice you may want to talk to a professional and get their opinion on what that means for you.
