Subtypes don’t mean anything they’re just helpful categorizations for more common themes. You can get intrusive thoughts about ANYTHING! I have lots that don’t fit into subtypes. It’s not the content that matters

My thoughts affect my music. I love this music group, they mean the whole world to me and they bring me so much happiness, but my thoughts keep telling me I don’t actually like them which is horrible and really upsets me :(

@seokoursunshine Ugh, how frustrating. :( I am so sorry that is happening. It makes complete sense that that would be an ocd thought you may have. That thought has absolutely no truth about the care you have for your music group. That’s whats so hard about these ocd thoughts- they really have no meaning and yet they feel so so crucial. While I have not had this exact ocd thought I have shared in worrying about my thoughts of others. We are all here for you ?

@christinezak You’re so lovely thank you so so so much :) I’ve always been so scared people would say to me “oh they’re just a group why are you getting so upset” but they’re more than just a group to me, they bring me so much joy and these thoughts are ruining my happiness :(

@seokoursunshine OMFG I LITERALLY HAVE THIS EXACT SAME THING. Please be assured that I have a lot of OCD themes, and my second biggest one is OCD attacks my love for Lady Gaga. I am a massive stan and even intern for her foundation and there are periods where I’m afraid and really feel like I don’t like her even tho that’s not at ALL what I want because I love her music and her work. But it feels SO REAL in the moment. Right now my POCD is bothering me hella, so my LG fear isn’t roaring, but I promise it gets me a LOT. Here for you if you wanna talk, you have a friend in me ?

@seokoursunshine Literally same to you. ? message any time you’d like. Also, I KNOW it’s just your OCD because it’s not a coincidence that we both have OCD and both have this fear.

@FuckOCD Thank you so much??i was wondering if you had tried ERP for these thoughts about LG? Because I was thinking about trying ERP for my thoughts about the band I love.

@seokoursunshine Ocd literally tries to latch onto anything we love! Anything that is extremely close to our hearts or anything we love it will latch on and make it seem like the end of the world! But they are just thoughts and thoughts hold no power !!! ???

I have had similar OCD! My sister is my best friend, I love her so much. But I used to have OCD that maybe I actually hate her and just don’t realize it. :( OCD attacks what matters most to us, so this music group that you love must be really important to you. That’s why it’s so painful when OCD targets it. Just remember that we have the power to fight back against OCD by learning about ERP and applying it!

I’m so sorry to hear you had those thoughts about your sister that must have been awful :( And yes this group mean so much to me, they make me so happy so having these thoughts is awful :( But I’m learning to accept the thoughts and trying not to engage with them rather than avoiding them which is what I had been doing for so long.

The Quiet Ones
I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.

Idk how I can go on living with these thoughts
It seems like every time I feel that I have an understanding of my intrusive thoughts and an understanding on how to deal with them I’m hit with a new and weirder intrusive thoughts that send me spiraling on what it means. I constantly search up the intrusive thoughts that I have to see if anyone online had a similar thought and that usually works and I calm down but there are a few time where the thought just feels too unusual and idk how to deal with it.

feeling like my thoughts are too unique
for the past few years i have been struggling with a certain theme of ocd as well as most of the other themes. but this one i have not figured out a good way to do my own form of erp or non-engaging responses. basically i will be daydreaming or thinking and have a very random thought. i wouldn’t call these thoughts intrusive thoughts because it’s not necessarily fear of the thoughts coming true, its just fear that my thoughts are too unique. my ocd will latch on to random or weird thoughts and may also add in that i was doing something weird while doing the thought. let’s say for example i thought of something random while i was rubbing my feet. then my ocd would be like “why are u having such a unique thought while doing something weird? nobody has ever thought about that specific thought while rubbing their feet before” (just an example). but basically it’s like my ocd bullies me for having thoughts that are too random and things i’ve never heard people talk about before if that makes sense. i am just trying to see if anyone relates even a little and how i can accept that everyone has unique thoughts.
