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

Tw I am so scared
I am so scared of everything .Of my thoughts.If I am a good person.Years ago I didnt help a kid who was in danger.Since then I started to have terrible thoughts :( i am so terrified.I still have these thoughts and I am scared it means something about me .I really dont want to hurt anyone and I want to help that kid now but idk how I can now.Also I am scared I betray everyone.I still have terrible thoughts and when I am with someone I care is worse...idk why.For example I started to talk with a collegue and he is really nice to me.I told him some things abt me( not the intrusive thoughts) and he was supportive.I have no idea if I will tell anyone abt my thoughts..and bcs of that I feel like I lie to them and betray them.I really want to enjoy my life and be happy and support people( especially because I didnt help that kid then).I want to live up to my morals now but I feel like I lie and manipulate people bcs I am a monster.Is this normal? To feel this way? What can I do? What if I am my worst fear and just cant accept it?!
