Hi,

My therapist has said that she has dealt with many patients with OCD (some the pure obsessional kind) and these type of thoughts are typical of the condition. Just as some will have obsessive blasphemous thoughts, some may have obsessive thoughts over cleanliness/germs, some will obsess over ...

Hi,

Yes, I'm in agreement that they are just thoughts. But it's so damn hard to stop them from being there! Everytime I try not to think about it, I feel like I am putting it away b/c I don't want to acknowledge a certain part of me! Like I am ignoring a very important issue. Then the thoughts get ...

Hi All,

Has anyone who has dealt with scary thoughts of this nature gotten over them? Do these thoughts ever feel so real that you get overcome with fear and confusion? I try to ignore these thoughts as they don't fit who I am or what I want out of life, but sometimes they come on so strong, I don ...

Little by slowly my disturbing thoughts are dissipating and losing their importance. When these thoughts began a few months ago, they were the focal point of my life, and caused ...

Thank you all!!
