I feel like I should confess my intrusive thoughts to my family. And when I will have a partner I think I should tell them constantly

You're not fake. You're a human with OCD. You don't need to confess those thoughts. Don't give them weight.

Hi Mitu, when I was a young teen I went through the same exact experiences as you did and I completely know how it terrifying it feels and how badly the overwhelming feeling of feeling like you absolutely HAVE to say your intrusive thoughts out loud gets. I’m not sure if you are new to OCD but what I have learned is that the best way fight these thoughts is to simply not. Let them be. If you are constantly trying to give yourself reassurance or debunk your intrusive thoughts they just become stronger. You are not alone, I promise you that.

I wish I had a dollar for every unusual thought I have ever had , I would be very wealthy, LOL ! Thoughts inside my head are personal and with or without OCD is still personal, one of the few things left in the world that truly belongs to the individual , upwards of about 90% of things I think about I have no interest in sharing with anyone else.

Sharing intrusive thoughts/urges with partners

Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?

Intrusive

Does confessing an intrusive thought just make it come back stronger?

Any Advice ?

When I talk about how terrible I used to be to my girlfriend it makes me feel like I’m gonna do it again which I don’t wanna do and it scares me and then I get intrusive thoughts and feelings about it doing it but I don’t want to, weird I know.
