Feels like I am accepting the thoughts when I don't have a panicked response. It's like I feel like I want the thought even though I never would because of lack of anxciety. Assuming this is part of ocd?
Been through that stage I get groinal response with no anxiety or feeling distress about it anymore, I feel your pain
@tuchi Yeah it's so weird
Yes. It's often due to habituation which means you're improving. NOCD has a good article on "backdoor spikes" which talks about when you stop feeling anxious when you have intrusive thoughts/feelings/sensations. Sometimes the lack of response makes us anxious but it sounds like you're kind of accepting it for what it is, which is great!
@ReadyForImprovement Mines been messing with me, was in the mood to have sx, I was trying not to because I didn't want a g*y person images will pop up and it would mess me up like last time theirs this particular image of the guy that always pops up when I'm about to have do something or about c*m and I always mess things up the worst part of it is that it feels like real deal or way best than the real deal, call me crazy but that's how it feels, I was afraid that it would feel so good as last time, when I was trying to resist the image pop up and I got something down there a little something tho and I felt confused was it because I thought about how it happened last time and it got me erected? Honestly I know this sounds crazy but l'm confused about it or was it because my pants with too tight. I didn't feel anxious about it or disgusted, was just confused and tried to reply that moment to see if it would happen again to know if I'm really into that but I didn't happen again, this happens this afternoon and I have been trying to figure out what happened
@tuchi 😯
@ReadyForImprovement Thank you!
but when there's no anxiety that mean you don't have the urge to do that it's just thought .........I'll tel to my self if I don't have anxiety that mean I become stronger then the thought
So, yesterday while I was laying in bed, I was relaxing when suddenly I had an intrusive thought about someone, but the thing is that it brought me a sense of enjoyment or calmness for a few seconds before it went away. Once it did, it was only until hours later when I realized what had happened and I began to freak out because I'm reading everywhere that when someone experiences this type of thing, the anxiety happens shortly after the enjoyment or "false" enjoyment. Can OCD do this?
Can it feel like you're enjoying the thought in the moment but then later, hours later feel anxious and do a compulsion?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
