Yup. It’s like I have conversations with myself lmao. I’ll find myself making facial reactions to my inner dialogue and thoughts and it’s always awkward in a social setting when someone’s like “what’s wrong why are you making that face”

@Anonymous27374848 is it because we have ocd we’re just more aware of that inner voice? I feel like mine is constant all day. it comments on everything. i’m so over this.

@Anonymous Me too. I feel like I kinda just accepted mine and became friends with it in a way?? It sounds weird but in my free time I’ll literally catch myself talking to myself and having conversations with myself. Like not in a weird way just in an inner dialogue way if that makes sense? Ocd definitely has a play in it but I also know it’s 100% normal to have that inner dialogue and nearly everyone does just some are stronger than others and I think that’s where ocd plays a part

@Anonymous Of course. It’s neat seeing I’m not the only one that struggles with that

@frickocd2908 i’m also having this weird thing happen where whenever I have a loud bad thought my ears get sensitive. like as if I heard it but I didn’t. it’s in my head but my anxiety is causing these symptoms that make me feel more crazy

You're not alone. I'd like to be here for you whenever you feel that way. Hopefully I'm not reassuring you, but it's better for us to have someone

My intrusive thoughts when they're at their worst are extremely loud and are voices saying words, etc. That's how I knew I needed serious help. It scared the heck out of me.

@Anonymous Yes it is OCD. Every "expert" I've read or watched state the same thing. The "volume" of the intrusive thoughts and the content being what we both experience, being OCD intrusive thoughts. ERP therapy definitely helped. Can you get therapy from one of the NOCD therapists?

@Anonymous I hope what I said doesn't count as reassurance. When I was diagnosed it was based on how much time per day, how disrupting it is to my normal function, and also volume of intrusive thoughts.

The Quiet Ones
I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.

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
