Right as I’m starting to feel happy again I get hit with what feels like intrusive feelings… sometimes of sadness or anger which then triggers my intrusive harm thoughts. Not sure if this is a mood disorder or just ocd. They don’t feel like what my true feelings should feel like if that makes sense.. ugh the feelings are harder to deal with than the thoughts. Trying to lean into them but it’s hard.
im having a similar issue, i keep getting feelings of that come out of no where and its terrifying because its only started happening since I’ve been worried about them happening and it also feels disconnected to my actual feelings sort of like it has a mind of its own and that mind is not mine because i never feel that emotion mentally in the moments they show up, is that what u feel like with yours? It’s so confusing and I don’t even know the answer or why it’s happening but just know ur not alone!
@emilyxo17 Exactly! My therapist has said I just have to sit with them and not try to change it or figure it out. Just allow it to pass. It’s so hard because it just gets confusing for me if it’s real or not
@amc1234 right! it’s mainly scary because i can’t find anyone else talking about it, the only thing i can hold onto is the fact its unwanted but it’s nice to know im not alone i guess, hope these pass for you soon!🩷
I get these too and they are hard to deal with. I have thought the same thing it is a mood disorder but OCD will do everything it can to make you doubt your true self. I put my faith in Christ as he knows are true hearts and who we are. Stay strong and wishing you nothing but the best.
@Nitro929 I have to put my trust in Jesus too and stop trying to “figure it out”. Fellow sister here 💕
Yeah I get sucked into trying to figure it out but things are getting better. When things get really tough Christ reminds me he is here fighting this battle with me. Better days ahead and God bless!
How have you battled ocd in the past? Erp?
@OCDFamily I’ve been officially diagnosed about 6mo ago so ERP is my first attempt of treatment for it. Even though I’ve had it a lot longer, I didn’t know it was ocd and didn’t deal with it to the extent I’ve had for a year of it being as bad as it was.
It is always hard, may you find peace soon!
I feel the same. these are actually feelings and not just thoughts. its so hard. but they pass eventually. In the time i feel them i feel like my body is in great distress.
Does anyone get “intrusive feelings”? I’ve experienced intrusive thoughts and urges, but I’m noticing intrusive feelings too. I’m about to start PMS-ing and I’m having weird depressed feelings like “I hate my life, everything sucks, maybe i want to die”. I have suicidal OCD and it seems like this is what my brain gravitates towards when I’m under stress. Even though I DO NOT want to die by any means, my brain throws these thoughts at me and it’s so scary bc I feel like maybe a part of me actually wants to do it. Idk why I feel depressed and shitty about my life when really I don’t want to be you know?? What do you guys think?
I hate intrusive feelings so much. Like I'll be obsessing over something and then I "feel" something that could be proof the obsession is true... it feels so real and i feel like a horrible person. I hate ocd so so so much
Through mindfulness and meditation I have found a way to combat intrusive thoughts and have succession a good amount of time. Now, I feel my thoughts have transition into feelings which feels much worse than the actual thought. It’s by far the worst I’ve felt and only pushes my worries and concerns further. Why is this such a difficult battle? Ughh
