Ok, now by brain is like trying to come up with the thoughts before I have the thoughts? Like it goes, "if I had to be gay, I would choose someone like her" but I wouldn't and I don't want to be, but cos I managed the anxiety I'm scared cos it can feel real, when it's not real, it never will be. My brain is just so worried about it that it's sort of forcing the thoughts before they happen. Is this considered "normal" for ocd?

I’m dealing with the same thing, but with different thoughts. I think my brain is becoming less sensitive to certain intrusive thoughts I have. Some still distress me a lot, but some are giving me less anxiety, which is also scary since they make my thoughts feel more real.

Thank you for sharing! It's like the better it gets, the worse it gets (if that makes any sense)
