Hi there, Almost all of us OCders have intrusive thoughts, thats all they are is thoughts and people don't really act on them. they feel they will because thats the OCD trying to make you think that you are going to. but You arnt the thought and urge will past..in the meantime remember its OCD thought and its not your thought, and I know you would noty act out on it, you know it too, your mind is just messing with you at the moment.
I was in the hospital and I got this from there, and I'd like to share with you..if I can remember it all... ( I just looked for the paper and can't find it ) It says a thought is only a thought, I am not my thoughts they come and go , If I happen to find it I will type it on here for you to read.. Its true.
You are NOT your thoughts, thoughts are thoughts, they cant make u act on something...I know its hard to hear the heart when the mind is loud.. but you know in your heart you won't ever act on anything horrible such as those thoughts in your mind that are produced by OCD... please hang in there..God bless u always (( hugs ))
