Consider that you’re constantly having anxiety and so you’re constantly exposed to these things much like unregulated erp. So you won’t always have anxiety because you’ve been exposed to it for so long

All the time. I worry that I've become dependent on them and that if they go away, I would've lost a piece of myself. I feel like my OCD gives me some weird form of direction and without it, then I'm just aimlessly drifting. But this couldn't be further than the truth. Life has its uncertainties and they exist even with out OCD. The idea that you like your thoughts is a lie that your OCD tells you. It's okay to fear the thought, but don't linger on it. It's just another fear brought on by your anxiety

Of course they do. It’s OCD attacking anything it can. You liking your thoughts would be the worst case scenario for you and so you have a strong reaction to it. Sorry, your OCD has a strong reaction to it. It realizes something scares you and amplifies it and makes you doubt everything you know not to be true. I don’t want you to get into the habit of seeking reassurance for these things, but OCD can and will become anything to scare you. So if you have to ask yourself, it’s OCD.

Does this mean that sometimes your thoughts may not cause you anxiety? Because your OCD tricks your brain into thinking you like these thoughts? Sometimes I get anxiety, but sometimes I don’t and it makes me feel guilty

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

harmful & scary intrusive thoughts
does anyone else get really vivid intrusive thoughts of the person who you are talking to (or close to physically) just randomly striking you violently? i keep getting them when i’m just talking to my dad one on one in the car & i get a flash of intrusive thoughts of him grabbing my hair & shoving my face in the dashboard. it gets me so anxious :’)
