I don’t even know how to explain it but can ocd make you feel less guilt? Can it make you feel the wrong things does that make sense? I’m struggling with a certain intrusive thought that makes me question whether or not I like/want it when I know deep down that can’t be true but it feels so convincing and it’s like I don’t even feel guilt but I should…it’s so weird. I don’t get it I really don’t. I guess the best thing for me to do is try to ignore it. The intrusive thought was so bad why does it feel the opposite of what it should be. I don’t know how to explain. Anyone experienced this too? What can I do to know for sure? How can I get some clarity. I know this may sound weird but part of me wants to go around the person it was about and see if that will help but I honestly don’t want to go around them because what if it makes it worse. I care about this family member and would literally do anything to protect them and make sure no harm comes to them. So why is my mind doing this to me?

Ok thank you

@Just Breathe ❤️ Hi friend! You know, the more I've been talking with you, the more I really and truly believe that you are showing great signs of improvement. I think it's great that you're really considering all of this from a different perspective now, a perspective that isn't just what your OCD is telling you. I think that's a great idea for you to go around the family member that you've been having this worry about! I think it would be a great ERP exercise for your OCD right now! I also think you should seek out an OCD therapist so you can continue learning more about your specific OCD and how you can properly combat it in the best possible way. A therapist could give you the best advice through all of this! Of course you can continue talking to us on here too though. :) And I really meant what I said Just Breathe, I think you are making great progress through all of this! :) I don't believe you should feel guilt at all Just Breathe, I believe the reason you're not feeling guilt about this is because you truly are coming to the true realization that this thought you've been so worried about really is just your OCD. And I think that is a great milestone that you've reached friend! I'm so glad we can continue to be here for each other through this common struggle we face called OCD. I really hope I'm giving you proper advice... I would hate to steer you wrong... I encourage you though to pray friend... God will guide you through this and lead you in what you're supposed to do as you continue living your life and continue learning to cope with your OCD. We're here for you friend! Stay strong! You got this! :)
