Can ocd do this?
Can ocd put a thought in your head that feels like you are actually the one thinking it? Not like a normal intrusive thought where it is more like someone else saying untrue things to you?

yep, i have this all the time it’s almost like I’ve had intrusive thoughts for so long they don’t always seem to ‘pop up out of nowhere’ like people usually say but as long as i don’t like it then i try not to think twice about it
Yes. It did this to me like an hour ago. It often does this to me when I’m sleepy and on the edge of falling asleep, a thought will come in but because I’m nearly unconscious I don’t fight the thought, so when it lingers for a few seconds or maybe even a few minutes it has the same affect as those dreams you have when you’re falling down and you hit the ground and jump up. That happens with me and then boom, I’m fully awake and in panic. Then it takes me anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to calm down. You’re not alone.
Does anyone ever experience this weird thing where ocd makes you feel like “you would have had no control and done this”. Like everything you feel and believe would have gone flying out the window and you would have done something you know you don’t want. Especially when a POTENTIALLY real situation could be happening and it’s not just the thoughts alone. Your brain is like oh this is real life you really would have done this or that. Driving me crazy.
I’m not sure if this is ocd but sometimes I’ll just be doing literally anything and my brain will be like what if this this and this happens and it’ll be like so random like an example id be like walking home and id be like what if my whole family got k!lled in this really brutal way and it’ll have nothing to do with anything im doing ill just get a really vivid thought of something horrible happening and it freaks me out every time and sometimes I just have random ones about like me like having a whole scenario of me singing in front of my whole school and everyone loving it (I can’t sing) sometimes the thoughts are just intrusive thoughts or somethings they’re like full on daydreams where there’s like a whole plot to it like even the bad scary ones it’s weird
Answer please. Does anyone else with intrusive thoughts feel like your addicted to them. Like I can't help but feel like I need to have these intrusive thoughts. Ik it sounds weird but I feel it's true. Like I keep getting blasphemous thoughts and I feel like I need to have them. I know I do not but I can't help but feel like I do. Can OCD do this to you?
