Wow that is such a great way of looking at it. So, when you get an intrusive thought what exactly do you do to treat them like the annoying kid?

Well one thing I’ve delt with is the guilt of not giving your intrusive thoughts attention. Because then you worry “oh did I like that thought?” But this is just advice to make you not feel bad, because you don’t feel bad or atleast you shouldn’t when you’re ignoring the annoying kid in class.

@lh2000 Yeah that makes sense. Sometimes I don't feel quite as anxious about a thought but then worry that it is because I am just accepting it now since I like it.

Anxious about starting Therapy
My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

New therapist
Today I had my first appointment with my new therapist in a clinic and she told me that my thoughts could be because of my past trauma and that it’s what makes most people pedos. I’m so in distress right now, I don’t want to hurt people but she made me feel like I’m disgusting
