this used to happen to me all the time when i was half asleep and a quick intrusive thoughts used to go through my mind but then i fall asleep and can't remember what the thought was in the morning. so , my andice is to start over. tell yourself "it probably isn't that important, if it was i would've remembered". try to just continue with your day while reminding yourself that even if the thought was bad it doesn't matter because it's not you that made it up - it's your ocd.

Omg this happens to me so much. A large part of my ocd is false memories and my compulsion is rumination and one time before bed I was halfway asleep and I think I had a thought thinking back and thought “oh no what if that memory was about (past false memory)” and. I woke up the next morning and couldn’t remember what it was and I was dying to remember because what if I NEED TO. Anyways you are not alone. Basically, it’s just a form of checking/ compulsion to try and remember our thoughts when in reality it’s a futile search. We don’t need to!

Intrusive Thoughts During “Me-Time”
So I was enjoying some “me time” and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like I’m holding myself back from “enjoying” the thought. And the thoughts are related to things I was into when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like I might still like it even though 9/10 I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks

Can intrusive thoughts be intentional thinking
I wanted to ask if it is possible to purposely think of an intrusive thought and then shifting your mind instantly to something else? Is it still an intrusive thought if you have been thinking of it 'purposely' for a second? I dont know how else to explain it, but it felt like I was purposely thinking of it. Anyone else had similar experience what happened during intimate moments like masturbation I feel so ashamed cuz the thoughts are so bad they're either about family members children and stuff like that it feels like I think it I just want to know if I'm not alone I feel like a monster because it feels like I thought these things or like I did think these things and I don't know what to do I feel so ashamed and grossed I need help I just want to know if anyone had a similar experience to shed light on because I don't know I feel so isolated
