Can OCD cause intrusive body reactions like let's say, you get an intrusive thought to press something you really don't wanna, and your finger feels like it wants to press it and it freaks out the individual. Is that possible?
Yes
If you don't mind me asking, how do you acknowledge such a feeling without falling into ruminating?
So far I just try to breathe through it until the feeling passes.
Is the following happening to anyone else? - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a voice, say, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?
Harm ocd urges Does anyone else have such strong harm ocd urges regarding your obsession that it literally feels like you’re holding back from doing it? I understand that harm ocd does indeed include urges, but can they rlly feel THAT real? Like at any time I could just “decide” to do it?
I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?
