how do i know if i want a thought? i don’t want to want the thoughts. im scared. it feels like there’s somebody telling me that i want them. like every time i say “i don’t want the thoughts”, it feels like a voice is saying “no you do” and it feels so real. help pleasee!! it feels like im losing my mind!!!

Do you think when it comes to ocd, we can rely on trusting our gut/ intuition?

@Anonymous Depends on what you mean. When I have my ocd really bad, everything I’m thinking feeling and knowing indicates that for some reason, I should give up on what I believe in. I always keep fighting for some... reason. If you consider that a gut feeling then yes. If it’s a feeling, then no.

@Anonymous Indicates what? A gut feeling?

@Anonymous I don’t follow you

@Anonymous You said when u have the ocd bad everything you are thinking indicates that. So I'm asking is the "that" ur referring to, the gut feeling i am asking about? Haha sorry this can get confusing I know

@Anonymous That’s what I’m saying. If you deem gut feeling to be a surface level feeling, then no, don’t listen to it. But if you define gut feeling as what you somehow know deep down, basically the thing ocd tried to pull you away from, do.

@Anonymous What do you mean the thing ocd tried to pull me away from?

@Anonymous HHa sorry understand everything else u said except that

@Anonymous So, I have religious ocd. My faith is what the ocd wants to ruin. Tocd or soocd? Your attraction. Harm ocd? A life or person. Pocd? Your integrity. You get the point.

@Anonymous So if the gut feeling is about my particular theme ur saying it's most likely not a gut feeling?

@Anonymous Badically

@Anonymous What I’m saying is if you have ocd and think “I should rape that child” it’s just the ocd

@Anonymous Or any theme but you know what I mean

@Anonymous Did you answer to my comment? Bc I don't see your point from what I said. Don't hesitate to precise your point if you want to discuss about it.
