Can OCD make you feel like you enjoy it?
Can OCD make you feel like you're enjoying OCD even though that's not the case and you're in mental anguish?

Exactly how I’m feeling this evening
I'm so sorry 🫂
Have you found any solution?
@Anonymous I’m obviously disgusted by and rejecting the thoughts physically but in my head it all feels warped and makes me question everything and I absolutely hate it I just want it out of my head
@Booklover19 Does OCD ever tell you that you're lying to yourself? Do you ever research non-stop for an answer to satisfy yourself yet it never works?
@Anonymous Not in so many words but it could say that’s how I’m feeling right now
@Booklover19 I'm so so sorry you're dealing with this, has it ever convinced you this is what you like now?
@Anonymous I feel like that’s where I’m at now but I don’t want to accept that and won’t….this should be enough to tell me I’m not a bad person but I guess it’s more nuanced than that
@Booklover19 Please don't give up, you're a good person, please believe that

The problem is I DO have anxiety, it just feels like I've been swapped around. Like my morals have changed. Like I no longer find it disgusting and more appealing
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?
I’ve been dealing with POCD for months and fake arousal is the worse, especially now it’s changed to when I’m scrolling on an app, etc and happen to come across a child, my Pocd makes me have fake arousal as usually I do a compultion such as trying to stop the arousal from happening such as tending my body, etc. however, recently I’ve enjoyed the fake arousal and wanted it to happen because it feels “nice” and in the moment I “want” the fake arousal over the “child” and in the moment I feel “attracted to the child but after this I’m met with guilt and so so many compultions such as showing, washing my bedding etc etc CAN OCD MAKE YOUT BODY ENJOY SOMETHING!!? Please help!!!
