can OCD make an intrusive thought feel like an urge ? like you know its something you’ve never wanted to act on , but the intrusive thoughts keep insisting , then at the end you’re confused ? regardless , its all so uncomfortable

Yes! If you think about something too much, you are giving the thought too much unnecessary meaning--which might make you "feel" (instrusive feeling) like you might end up acting on it. This can be brought upon by fear as well

thank you.😭 your comment brought me to tears, I was feeling so uncomfortable all day about this. thank you again

@micgarza You're very welcome! :)

Omg yessss I’ve been going through this lately

Absolutely! Definitely happens to me! This is common with OCD.

Thank you 🙏

I used to worry about it too and then found out it is common and a lot of people with OCD deal with feeling as though they are going to actually “act” on their thought or feeling. You’re not.

Very very common

Exactly
