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.

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.

@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.

Harm ocd
(Trigger warning) So recently I’ve caught myself being more content with these thoughts…and due to the fact of me not freaking out is making me freak out because I also have this weird little birdy in my thoughts that just say “do it” I’m not sure if I’m the only one and I’m ofc scared of that but please tell me this is normal…I can’t even cuddle my boyfriend or anything right now.

Pocd moral justification
Why does my pocd always try to tell my I agree with bad stuff or tell me bad stuff is normal etc… I don’t agree with it but it feels like my body and brain does but I always am like wtf after I get the thought but sometimes if I try to let it pass that feels like I’m agreeing with it. Like omg bro I hate this

Can ocd do this
Can ocd convince you momentarily you want your intrusive thoughts only to snap out of it
