Can ocd do this?
Can ocd put a thought in your head that feels like you are actually the one thinking it? Not like a normal intrusive thought where it is more like someone else saying untrue things to you?

yep, i have this all the time it’s almost like I’ve had intrusive thoughts for so long they don’t always seem to ‘pop up out of nowhere’ like people usually say but as long as i don’t like it then i try not to think twice about it
Yes. It did this to me like an hour ago. It often does this to me when I’m sleepy and on the edge of falling asleep, a thought will come in but because I’m nearly unconscious I don’t fight the thought, so when it lingers for a few seconds or maybe even a few minutes it has the same affect as those dreams you have when you’re falling down and you hit the ground and jump up. That happens with me and then boom, I’m fully awake and in panic. Then it takes me anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to calm down. You’re not alone.
Is it possible for OCD to turn thoughts that used to be apart of your identity and something you enjoyed into an intrusive thought? Like when you think about it NOW instead of it feeling normal, it feels like an anxious thought? Maybe because I’m so fearful I don’t enjoy that thought anymore that my mind is going along with it and making it unappealing to me? It’s just confusing to me because I thought intrusive thoughts were supposed to be the opposite of who you are.
Can ocd make you feel that you make thoughts on purpose? It feels like I make some ugly thoughts on purpose but I don’t like it.
Can anyone give me tips on how when I have an intrusive thought that doesn’t mean I did it. Like I’ll have a thought of something then my head will tell me that I did this .. anybody else deal with this
