Can thoughts or this disorder makes you want to have the intrusive thoughts to happen even when you don't and it becomes a confusing mess? Because I'm dealing with that rn and it's hard to manage.
Yes, the more you fight them the more they appear, it's not like you want to have the intrusive thoughts, it's more like the more you think about not wanting to have them or the more you try to stop them the more you won't be able to let them go
Yep. That’s ocd. It’s the doubt disorder. It will feel INCREDIBLY real and make you feel that way. Try ALI GREYMOND on YouTube, she’s changed my life. Also Nathan Petersons channel ‘OCD and Anxiety’
yeah, ive dealt with that a lot. it's hard to tell who's in charge of your thoughts. i think ocd just makes us confused in general. whether you are bringing on the thought yourself or it is coming against your will, its intrusive if it's uncomfortable. You don't need to find all the answers, they might be impossible to find.
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
How do you guys handle uncertainty? I keep having so many what if thoughts and I feel so bad. The worst ones are what if I act on my intrusive thoughts or actually want them and I can’t tell if they’re me or not. It just feels so real and at this point I don’t even know if they’re intrusive thoughts anymore. I just want to not be a bad person and not feel like this anymore.
Can ocd convince you momentarily you want your intrusive thoughts only to snap out of it
