This seems like it’s the crux of ocd. That having bad thoughts means something bad about you. It’s the anxiety response that amplifys this and makes us ponder, often for hours on end about the meaning of these thoughts. This way of thinking doesn’t benefit us, rather strengthens the ocd! So try, and you’ve probably heard this a million times, but try to let the thoughts into you’re brain without fighting them
Yes :( while this is such an awful feeling, it helps so much to hear others are experiencing this. Ocd is so hard to understand if you don’t experience it. It has been really hard for my boyfriend to understand and it makes me feel crazy. He struggles with clinical depression and I feel like I’ve tried to be open to anything he tells me even thought I don’t fully relate but when it comes to me explaining my intrusive thoughts he just stares at me and seems so confused and weirded out :////
This happens to me. But then I question if I did it. The imagery is so real in my head. what is this type of OCD called?
Yup
anyone else ever think back to something they innocently did at a very young age and your ocd tells you it’s proof of whatever your worry or obsession is
Do “false memories” start off as an intrusive thought? Mine have always started off like “what if___” then I go back in my past and my brain fills the gaps. You know how it goes. Like there’s no real memories even attached to these thoughts.
Do you guys ever get like a thought that is so delusional and false. And still find yourself thinking about it over and over again as if it was real? I’m going through that now😔🤦🏻♀️
