Yup that is literally intrusive thoughts, OCD's friend that got invited to the party. But you shall not fear it, thoughts are just ideas, they have no power, they can't change the future neither the past, they can't define you and won't. If a stranger tells you something, you will not believe him, you would reply "yeah yeah, whatever you say", same way goes with ocd. You should never reply or argue with the thoughts, just acknowledge their presence and move on! Ignore them and embrace the feeling of anxiety. It might sound crazy but it is not, the anxiety is the natural body response to danger, it will go up and go back Down noticing there is no actual threat through the process called habituation. While you feel anxious you could try doing whatever you enjoy the most! Take care!

what do your intrusive thoughts feel like?
for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts

intrusive or not
are they truly intrusive thoughts or am i thinking and creating automatically graphic images that i dont want to think? i think it happens because it's too easy once you're anxious abt it. i dont enjoy it. i just saw a trigger and had a graphic disturbing se&ual image in my head.

Question
