You just asked what I was going to ask. Yeah I think so and then you start obsessing what it meant whether you were thinking anything or just feeling. Worrying about worrying.

yes! I’ve always described it as more of a feeling than a thought! I find this quote helps: “What you feel is often only what you fear”

At the moment ages ago there was a film or a tv show I saw where an older guy came onto a 19 year old girl( I remember her age because He asked how old she was and then she said 19) anyway he starts calling her a little girl and she’s being all cute and child like, then they get it on. Problem for me is I thought she was quite hot and I need to know if thinking that was inappropriate. I also need to now how I felt when he called her a little girl. Which is impossible. So for two years everyday I have been obsessing constantly about this, to the point of what feels like insanity.

Actually seeing this written down makes me think how stupid this is.

I had a similar experience with a different obsession Tally. Where you forget what your exact thought/feeling was at the time and you obsess with trying to remember. I’ve noticed also when it comes to reassurance, once reassured we sometimes have to remind ourselves what the reassurance was. I wonder if some of us with OCD have poorer short term memories: https://www.verywellmind.com/is-ocd-associated-with-memory-problems-2510678

Yeah it’s so tough. But as far as obsessions go, looks like people on here have way worse. So I can be thankful for that. But nevertheless it’s still stressing me out!

Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.

At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)

So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
