Ive been here. No one can reassure you are a good person. People will tell you but it has to be you that decides you are! Try meditating and renaming all of your intrusive thoughts as OCD Everytime one pops into your head relabel it. Then think of someone like your pet or your family and label that as love. Think of a fun time in your life and label that as joy. Then think of a bad experience and label it as a bad memory. Then keep sorting through your thoughts until they are all organized. Don't let yourself stress whether or not a thought is OCD or a bad experience. You have to trust yourself to relabel the anxious doubting thoughts as OCD. Don't try to investigate them just sift through and relabel.

Dear Mohelei - Sorry to hear that. I remember those days. Just remember that there is no such thing as "bad thoughts" there are only thought. The same way there are no "bad farts" - There are only farts - some stink more than others. I know this is so counterintuitive to what we have always been taught, especially by religion but it is the pure truth. We have zero control of thoughts - However we do have control of what we do with them. So, reviewing a thought expecting some reaction (positive or negative) is a compulsion that keeps feeding the Monster.

Intrusive thoughts about intrusive thoughts
Hi everyone. I’ve been doing therapy for about two months now and I would say it’s slowly helping me a lot. I explained to her the breathing techniques and “sitting in the anxiety for a bit” and I feel like those are helping. But then my therapist said “don’t sit in the thought because then you might act on it”. I don’t “sit in the thought” but rather i sit in the anxiety to comdition my brain into thinking it’s not a threat. But ever since yesterday, my therapy appointment, I’ve been really shooken up. Even though I don’t “sit in the thought” I feel like a bad person that she even had to bring it up even though I explained it wrong. I’m so upset I feel like I just took 3000 steps back from my progress and this little thing is really scaring me. Am I a bad person? I don’t want to act on any of my thoughts and it scares me so bad I hate living.
