Intrusive thoughts with feelings

It sucks, and it’s hard to understand that these thoughts aren’t mine cause why does it feel like I’m getting excited by them as well? When that should be the last thing that should be happening. It only convinces me more and I just sit there after feeling it like “what am I supposed to/can do about this?” And I just feel distraught cause if it’s not what I want, why am I feeling something like that towards it? When I should be feeling something more negative?

I totally agree with you, I sometimes feel like I am sometimes more comfortable just believing these thoughts, rather than not. I think for me is that I've gone through this for so long, that part of me just feels defeated and I am just so tired of fighting and ruminating. It's so overwhelming. You are not alone in this, and I hope that you, I and everybody else experiencing this can go back to our authentic and true selves with mindfulness, therapy, and doing the work.

@Db@12345 I spend every day thinking about all of this stuff..talking to myself about it, trying to understand it, trying to fight against it..I don’t know how to NOT think about it all and I know it makes things worse but how am I supposed to not think about this? And I agree, I feel defeated. But it feels like I’m agreeing/giving in and accepting I am that person when I just want my old self back.

100%. I feel so unlike myself and that I am a horrible person. That I am strange and some kind of monster. I constantly fear so much and want to get back to my true and happy self. It's so hard to do. OCD tries hard to convince you of its reality. I frigging hate it.

Just like thoughts, feelings can be intrusive too. It can feel like an urge, it can feel like a statement. OCD is great at making us think and feel like we want to do what OCD tells us to!

Does anyone else’s intrusive thoughts at times make them ‘feel’ things? Like if you have an intrusive thought about your boyfriend you then begin to feel you don’t want to be with him. And afterward you feel extreme guilt and shame because you do love him so much. I used to call them “fake feelings”

Intrusive feelings

This one time I got an intrusive feeling that I liked the thoughts and I didn’t. I’m scared of getting that feeling again and I worry about what if I did again. I hate the thoughts and I definitely don’t like them but these intrusive feelings suck and is one of the hardest things to get over :/

intrusive thoughts

does any one else have an intrusive thought and you go over it in your head and try to see if you react in a good or bad way? i’ve been having bad intrusive thoughts but i sometimes have this feeling inside that i like it? and i feel it’s right and i agree inside but my other thoughts are saying no i hate it ?!
