I’ve been that way before. I also had the worry, as a child, that thinking a word made me bad. I vividly remember not being able to say “hate” when I was four, and I thought that I hated something- so I ran upstairs to confess to my mom that I thought the word hate.

omg when I was like 11-12 my ocd theme was like almost being scared?? of "bad words." like i would constantly ask my mom if a word was a "bad word" or look words up to find out what it meant and I was like scared of saying or thinking of swear words or "bad words" lol

Yes! There was a period when I was so scared I'd accidentally blurt the N word even though I have literally never once in my life said that word

OCD will make us believe that just because we think something it means it’s true or that we are bad! I still have some of those today where my brain is trying to convince me to do a compulsion to get rid of the anxiety I have towards having negative thoughts towards myself

Yep!!!!! All last year that was a huge issue of mine. It still happens sometimes those thoughts are just so intense. That’s how I got diagnosed in the first place.

I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?

This is hard to admit, but I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts where the central theme is racism. I don’t use racial slurs but my brain worries that I have said something that hurts or offends someone and now I find myself analyzing every social interaction.

Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
