Does anyone else’s OCD convince them that bad thoughts are not actually that bad…. Like I know they are so why do I feel like they arent😭😭

It’s more of a “I’ve heard this thought 20000000 times so I’m not going to have a huge reaction to it” response in your brain. For example, if someone comes up and tells you something crazy. You’re going to be like wow, that’s surprising! Maybe having a big reaction. However, if someone comes and tells you this same thing over and over and over 2000s of times a day… you probably get tired of the story and get annoyed it keeps coming up. You don’t have the same reaction to it because you’ve been in the same mental loop 2000s of times.
That makes so much sense thank you so much
I feel that way too sometimes. I think it’s our brains way of trying to tell us to not get better so we can stay in this comfortable but not healthy lifestyle
Yep, this is honestly concerning me the most because it feels like these thoughts are changing me and my values. I know my POCD is bad but my brain is like “but what if that’s what you want? What if you don’t think it’s bad? What if it actually makes sense?” The worst part is not being as anxious as I used to be. My brain is using that as proof that I’m just a bad person now. I hate it and just want it to leave me alone but idk how to go back.
@Anonymous Literally same its horrible I also struggle with POCD its the worse theme. Do you ever feel like mental arousal after a thought I hate it so much😭😭
@LizM99 I don’t know if I’d describe it as arousal but I am definitely struggling with “liking” the thoughts now if that makes any sense. Like they’re so constant and I have to keep reminding myself they’re bad but I am really struggling with them not feeling like real desires now. I hope it’s still OCD.
@Anonymous I totally relate to what you are saying, it feels so real☹️
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
Does anyone ever feel like you know you have OCD, but at the same time you think it might actually be you connecting to a higher consciousness or vibration that is trying to control your decisions so that the outcome does not turn out bad kind of like the butterfly effect. It drives me crazy because I know I’m conscious that it’s OCD but at the same time I overthink and feel like it might be a higher power trying to warn me that I’m not doing something right, like example; if I flip the trash can lid a couple more times it’s going to pervert something bad from happening and that why I’m sensing I’m not doing it right, because if I spent a little more time there and if I would have left earlier the outcome would’ve been different. Or say I just fight through it and choose to ignore it, but then I’ll carry that negativity/worry of not feeling like I did it right and will project it out into existence because the thought won’t leave my head and in a way your seeking it out into existence since you keep thinking about it, kind of like an affirmation?
