My thoughts scare me

Can intrusive thoughts be so intense? It seriously feels like someone else is in my brain. My thoughts consist of “What if I just..” “It would be so easy…” and they are horrible so so so horrible. I hate these thoughts so much but why do they feel this way. I would never ever do any of these things but sometimes I can’t help but think what if I do? What if I give in. It’s so terrifying. Does anyone else experience intrusive thoughts that genuinely feel like it’s you for a second and then you feel immense regret?

Yess I relate! I feel like in any moment I’m going to snap. But the fact we don’t like them and they cause us this much discomfort means we don’t actually want to do them and we won’t!

I have had these feelings.. it might not seem helpful in the moment, but just know that you won’t do what you fear.. literally no one with OCD EVER does. It is so against your core values that is what it attacks. Try repeating “it’s not me it’s my OCD”

I have intrusive thoughts too they have to do with what I just ate I have such a hard time picking out what to eat because my OCD bothers me so much I literally get the worst feeling after I eat what I want after work I don’t know why my OCD gets me so much during that time I keep doubting what to have for lunch. What also does not help me is that I get stomachaches from certain foods so it makes it even harder to pick out what to eat

Does anyone else’s intrusive thoughts at times make them ‘feel’ things? Like if you have an intrusive thought about your boyfriend you then begin to feel you don’t want to be with him. And afterward you feel extreme guilt and shame because you do love him so much. I used to call them “fake feelings”

How do your “thoughts” come to you? Mine are so random and just pop out of nowhere. I think the feeling I get is the most disturbing part to me. I get chills, my stomach aches and I feel like I’m going to vomit. I get shaky. The fear is so intense and just instantly out of nowhere. What I struggle with the most is the guilt and fear “feeling” and because I’m feeling this I most be guilty or the thoughts are true because no innocent person would feel this. Does this happen to you guys as well?

intrusive thoughts

does any one else have an intrusive thought and you go over it in your head and try to see if you react in a good or bad way? i’ve been having bad intrusive thoughts but i sometimes have this feeling inside that i like it? and i feel it’s right and i agree inside but my other thoughts are saying no i hate it ?!
