I am very scared . My mind is sick. Someone told me that a bad thing happened to them and I keep thinking about it. I think: what if I wanted that to happen? Is this ocd? I am so scared and disgusted. How can I think like this??
That happens to me with true crime cases. But we have to remember ocd attacks what we value most. If you didn’t care so much about the general well-being of people/weren’t such an empathetic person ocd wouldn’t be attacking that
Its scary
@kaylaxo i try to remember that if i really were a sick person, i wouldn’t feel so bad about it. if you truly felt this way, you wouldn’t be overthinking about it. people who those feelings come naturally to them never overthink it, and just accept it. i try to remember a truly sick person wouldn’t be scared by these thoughts.
@maddie2000 If I overthink is seems real and if I dont...Is still not ok
Questions that start with "what if" usually are OCD. And you know what that means: time to do ERP. Do your best to ride out the fear and disgust without engaging in compulsions, and let them naturally lessen.
