I’ve had bad thoughts about loved ones! I think everyone does...this helped me when I read about it! This article said something like “perverse thoughts (like sexual, violent or otherwise bad) are just part of the human experience, it’s just that people with OCD don’t immediately acknowledge them as such and hang on to them and that’s the problem”..... Like everyone has had some sort of weird thought about their family, we don’t talk about it because it’s creepy but pretty much every boy has imagined their mom naked, because she is a girl, girls look cool naked, your mind makes the parallel and BOOM, my brain likes to screw with me a lot with gross images, I think it’s mainly because of my dark sense of humor, but I FEEL YOUR PAIN, you are not alone

I’m not sure i can even get up to the high doses, it’s like it will numb your thinking so you won’t have any more thoughts! ??♀️

And if you’re wondering why you have more of these thoughts than the normal person seems to then “try not to think about pink elephants!”....it’s because they alarmed you > you dwelled on them > they kinda stayed in your head...the act of letting them alarm you caused you to think about them more often and that’s why it keeps cropping up...you didn’t do anything wrong! You were just worried because you’re clearly a good kid and wanted to stay that way. I really hope I’m not coming off as a knowitall here I think I just have been working on this for a few years and telling someone else the stuff I know kinda solidifies it in my head

Is it normal to feeling crappy right now? Like I think what if it’s not my ocd and my brain is perfectly fine and these thoughts are true.

It might be OCD, or it might not. Trying to work that out will make things worse! Stick with the Zoloft for now, it takes time for meds to get working for your body, but don't be afraid to discuss it with your gp if it's not working the way you want :)

Lots of people :) we all have weird thoughts, and often the content is disturbing to us. But you can't control them or make them go away, and you're not a bad person for having these thoughts. Focus on your actions, as I'm sure outwardly you show care for them

Hang in there! Just started zoloft too and felt like such crap too! By two weeks was feeling great but of course i just increased it so back to feeling bad. But i already feel happier but haven’t noticed much different in terms of ocd yet but i am not at a big dose yet.

Mine are just bad thoughts. Don’t make sense. No violent or sexual.

Same concept, the thoughts distress you and you dwell,..instead of beating yourself up for having them just let them be there and go about your day

I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Hey everyone, I need help. I woke up just now with the worst thoughts ever. Thoughts that GOD leaving me, thoughts that I like the bad guy, and thoughts that are worse than anything that I have ever thought of before. I realize that I am asking for reassurance, but I am so scared that I mean these thoughts and I just want GOD to keep me and my family safe and know that I don’t mean these thoughts… please help
