Can someone please tell me how I can re read all comments written to me on forums without having to scroll through all forum pages, please?

I'm reading things and I just don't understand ? it says 'understanding what drives a person to continue performing compulsions is partly due to perception of perceived level of danger and threat that a person with OCD believes may cause harm to themselves or a loved one'. But is this saying I'm not saying anything wrong but see so much risk in the thought if I was to say it that keeps me ruminating, or I may well be saying stuff but the consequences if I am and the risk of harm is just not as great/bad as I think?

I am not totally sure I understand your question Megz.

But, with OCD there is often a real threat of bad things happening, but often a very small risk. So in my case, using the toilet does pose a risk of contamination and harm from germs, but a low risk. However, my OCD makes me misunderstand this and think the risk is far likely than it is.

What is meant by the following? 'For ppl with OCD there is an over estimation about the perceived threat the intrusive thought brings?'. To me, this implies that the thought is somewhat true but it is not as bad and consequences are not as threatening as it seems to be? PleaSe can someone answer. I feel really thick x

'Everyone says wrong', mum said. 'mine aren't normal worries tho, are they/ Or the things I worry I say aren't normal worries/thoughts' I said. 'Well what have u actually said? What is normal anyway?' I dunno. Well then. (I wasn't implying anything was true, I was just saying that I don't get worries like did I leave straighteners on and exams, I get worried about whether I think dad is weird and untoward and whether I'm saying he is) but I so felt that I was partly implying that my worries aren't normal because dads untoward to me and that's not normal) he isn't at all!!!!!! But felt I wanted to hurt myself and implicate that. Maybe I knew mum knows I'm in a state with OCD and she'd know to ignore me and it's just the OCD talking and she'd think I don't believe what I'm implying. (I don't believe what I'm implying at all if that is what I implied but I do not want to imply it anyway!! Whether I knew mum would know it's untrue, whether she felt I believed it but knew if was untrue, whether she felt I didn't believe it, whether I did want her to think I believes it or didn't want her to think I actually believed it!!

Ahhh sayig this- '... she'd know to ignore me and it's just the OCD talking and she'd think I don't believe what I'm implying' implies that I do believe it and she doesn't think I do. Otherwise I'd have said 'know' rather than 'think'. I know I get stuff wrong like this a lot!! It's so implicative tho!! ? what can I tell myself? When I ramble on like this I seem to just speak accordingly to my OCD being true and it's like that's why I said 'think' as oppose to 'know'. Please can someone tell me what I can tell myself? I feel sick

I find it difficult to follow what's going on in some of your posts but i'm going to give this a shot.

If I understand correctly, you say something to someone or think something about someone (often your dad). Then you catch yourself and believe what you said or what you thought wasn't entirely accurate and that you implied something bad or wrong in what you said or what you thought. Then you start ruminating over it all, over thinking whether what you said was correct or whether you actually implied something bad or wrong. Then the whole thing goes around in circles until the next time.

Is that it in a nutshell?

I guess this is correct, yeah. Though when I think iv said and implied bad about dad, it would not be a case of what I said 'wasn't entirely accurate', it would be completely inaccurate.but I guess what is be saying xould be accurate but I feel there's an underlying implication there or iv used certain words or phrases to implicate something separate.

I feel confused now tho. I hope I haven't made u think that if I'm saying bad about my dad it's only 'not entirely accurate' ? ? tho I might feel I say something innocent that isn't entirely accurate just so it would implicate soemthing else. I don't know. I can't think of an example off the top of my head. Ahhh

You're getting all wound up on this implication business. That's where the problem is. You say something then you analyze what you said and get afraid that you've 'implicated' something.

My advice is you're going to have to work on not analyzing everything you say and stay away from thinking you've implicated anything. You say what you say and that's that.
