Intrusive thoughts and imaginations
Whenever I’m in a room and someone leaves and I’m alone, even with my usual safety behaviors I have really strong imaginations and then close my eyes to try to stop them and then feels like thoughts are super real or its happening and pray to reverse it or say no I don’t want that to happen but then worried that the intrusive prayer will happen and like that I didn’t pray the “no I don’t want that to happen” last or like that if something happens that’s good or that I wanted after that it’s just because of the imagination of the bad thing happened. And will have really real imaginations in my head too so it makes it even more realistic and even though I can go back and check the safety behavior (filming) I feel like the video just didn’t get the thing happening or was cut out or that I wasn’t actually filming at that time. And it happens when I’m in a room alone and I know that it’s worse when I engage with the thoughts and that makes it then feel even more like it happened but because it happens when people leave the room I can label it as ocd. But because I was lying down and praying I’m worried it will or did happen then, even though I used to use this as safety behavior and it didn’t and isn’t now it works.
