Can OCD cause you to feel like you're intentionally creating ugly thoughts?

Absolutely! You just need to remember that even if you *did* make these thoughts then they’re still just thoughts 🤷‍♀️ and even if you did think them you can tell that you don’t align with them so don’t feel so bad about having them

This could possibly be rumination. And it’s kind of like thinking then on purpose to see how you react. Basically trying to give yourself a bad reaction to prove that you are still disgusted by the thought. But a lot of the times after you think so many bad thoughts you aren’t going to have that same reaction. Some people don’t even have a reaction at all but you that doesn’t mean you agree with it or like the thought!

Maybe you are trying not to have the thoughts which in turn will make you have them. The more I read about thoughts the more hear not to pay too much attention to them. Your brain try’s to protect you and what you hold dear by giving too much value to OCDs intrusive thoughts you train your brain to think they are important when they are not. Even “normal” thoughts often get it wrong. We often spend too much time in our heads.

I never dealt with pocd before and suddenly started worrying but now I keep imagining this disgusting thoguhts on purpose and I thought it was to test myself but it’s really disgusting And it’s like I can feel how the thoguhts feel to do that thing and I don’t feel disgusted or worried or at least don’t think I am I jsut feel nothing but can easily imagine the thoguhts and why can I imagine them and not feel bad about imagining them does that mean it’s true
