Yes all the time but what I’ve learned is that if you feel distress at just the thought of liking your scary thoughts, that means it’s not real and you don’t like them because their making you sad/uncomfortable or worse feelings :(

You’re checking to make sure that you have the right feelings towards your thoughts. The two can be divorced of one another. For example. Imagine if a surgeon cried every time he operated on a patient. We need to recognize that feelings do not always have to match the thought/action.

acting on thoughts
I have been dealing with intrusive thoughts for a long time, and while most of them don’t affect me anymore, there are ones that really concern me and make me feel panic. They make me feel like I could actually act on the intrusive thought and I’m just holding myself back from it. It’s really scary and I don’t know who I am anymore.

Can being afraid that you like these things…
Make you feel like you actually do? I’ve always checked my feelings to try and find my “real” ones and now…when I check, my brain runs away with the thought and makes me feel like I’d actually enjoy hurting my dog. Please help.
