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 :////

I’ve had different themes of ocd throughout my life. Can they all differ such as how the thoughts may present? Currently my thoughts feel so true immediately (like they genuinely feel like what I think) but in the last theme I feel like it may have been more of a “what if I think this” type of situation

When I say I feel like I like a thought, I don’t mean the OCD is telling me like a thought or that I concluded that from a physical sensation. I mean, I genuinely feel like something in my brain lights up and it feels like I like it mentally. Whenever I hear people talk about liking thoughts (excitement, arousal), I always see things about groinals or heart flutters. Physical things. I don’t think I really ever see people talk about the mental sensation if this is even a thing. I just wanna know if anyone relates to this or has found an explanation for this because seeing it from an analytical point of view seems to help me sometimes. This is so, *so* especially hard for pocd themed thoughts :( Anyone relate?

Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?
