sometimes i think it’s just the truth because my intrusive thoughts are not always „what if..“ or „do you want this or that“ but also „you want girls to like you!“ „you want to date a girl!“ „i feel like i want this.“ and so on… do you also experience intrusive thoughts that are not questions?
yees, my intrusive thoughts barely come as question, they're almost always statements, you like this! you want this! I want this! you're jealous because you like him right! and stuff like that
@ap_ Mine are more real feelings, real urges , and when imagining the feelings feel very real and as if i want it
@star1232 I get that also! It's super hard😔 What i tell to myself when i have that feeling of this is real, is that it will pass and i try to go on with my day the best i can
Yessssss, almost always. If my intrusive thoughts arent in the form of a questions, the other forms of my intrusive thoughts are usually scenarios or i scenes on what i see on tv shows about gay people/couple and compare it to myself.
Ocd is horrible I can relate to you with what your going through it is horrible I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy you know the thing is though I see and hear a lot of people with this theme of ocd say that the thoughts and feeling and all what ocd comes with comes and goes but mine is every day all day none stop I get head aches chest pain and just feel so alien in my own skin maybe mine isn’t ocd I just don’t know
@kyle g tucker i feel like that too! it doesn’t leave my mind and i can get triggered SO easily and by nearly everything
@kyle g tucker Im like you , hearing ppl say that their ocd / false attractions come and go makes me feel weird, my false attractions dont stop , i feel it with every girl i see, even my family members, myself … every minute of the day
@star1232 Hey I hear you and just know that your not alone and ocd isn’t the boss it’s just control freak you got this!! Now I don’t want to give reassurance because it’s not the way forward but how your felt and your feeling before this theme hit that is the real you does it feel like a broken record to you like you know if you was to go around your friends do you feel uncomfortable and or do you have this feeling of wanting to escape the situation ?
Yeah intrusive thoughts, feelings, urges, statement, little movies in your head, ideas , entire dialogues. But yes mine come in as statement too!
hey, so i’ve had these insane thoughts about like, this dude. and i assumed it’s intrusive feelings, but it also has happened w the fact o think i like girls? but i don’t? like, i get the gronal response, and everything, and like, it sometimes feels like i actually like them, but it always makes me sick? same way w the false attraction guy, and it even started happening w my bsf of like 9 years? and it’ll tell me the most insane things like “maybe u are attracted” “maybe if u got w them the thoughts will stop” someone please help.
I don’t know how to explain this so I’ll do it to the best of my ability. Does anyone experience “co-intrusive” thoughts that try to negatively support the initial intrusive thought? Example: Me: “Thank God I never acted on (scary intrusive thought) & I’m getting better!” Intrusive thought: “What a shame you didn’t” These types of things send me into a spiral. It makes me think that it could lead to a desire instead of staying a fear. Like an intrusive disappointment that I didn’t follow through with the thought? It’s been a long fear/obsession & I think my OCD is trying to trick me that the only satisfaction would be to act on the thought. (I know that’s bs) But IS that why it sends me the negative co-intrusive thoughts? That’s the only explanation that makes sense. Then I wonder is it something else? Am I a grenade waiting to explode??? I simply cannot relax in any moment because I think what’s the use if I’m just going to (xyz) one day?
Help! My OCD has caught onto this thought for awhile and I keep spinning on it. I know you are supposed to follow your values and what your actions suggest with OCD, but what if that is even blurry right know? For example my whole life I wanted to be with a man, and now my OCD is having major intrusive thoughts about women. How do you tell if those thoughts are wanted or not? I can’t figure out if I like the thoughts or not. I’m trying to live the life “I want” but what if I don’t know what that is?
