Felt like I was on the verge of acting on thought/feeling

[NJ321]

Why are the thoughts/feelings so strong & powerful. At work when a kid came near my register at one point I felt like my entire mind changed & that I felt like I wanted to act on the bad thought about touching the kid. It's not the thought itself that's really bothering me really in this instance, but the feelings I had during it where it seriously felt like I was very very close to acting which freaks me out. That feeling inside my mind is so scary where it's like my brain becomes possessed & that I actually feel like I want to act on it. It just scares me since it made me feel like I could just easily act on it but it was like I had to hold myself back from not doing it. It's just a very scary feeling when my mind changes like that like some sort of horrible imbalance hits me out of nowhere & lose control of my brain.

Need help with this. I just don't know why the feeling felt so strong in the moment for why I could have just acted on it or felt like I could have. It felt like I had to hold myself back from actually doing it which scares me. It just was so weird how my mind changed like that out of nowhere & all of a sudden felt like I wanted to act on it. It's just freaking me out how my brain could do that like that where I was doing okay a minute before than some sort of feeling hit me like I wanted to actually do it.

Your mind and body are linked, so whatever you think will also affect how you feel, which inturn will carry on the thought and a vicious cycle starts! You say its not the thoughts that bother you, but indeed it is as its the thoughts that connect your feelings etc. Ocd is a pain in the butt, and I know how you feel. You just need to accept the thoughts for what they are, just thoughts the feelings will then no longer bother you. You know in yourself that you wouldn't do anything that your mind says, and that makes you normal like the rest of us.

It was that weird feeling in my brain out of nowhere though is what bothers me. It felt like my brain became imbalanced severely out of nowhere & felt like I had genuine attraction feelings towards the kid as well as my mind having that strong urge/feeling to touch the kid. I don't know how close I actually was to doing it but in my mind it felt like I could have literally just moved my hand & do it due to feeling I had in my brain at that moment where it felt like I was losing control & my brain had that weird feeling in it. It was very scary since it almost felt like my brain became possessed or something.

It's just your interpretation of the thoughts/feelings your mind is looking for it checking it's almost automatic you become aware of it it's just your imagination that's why it scares you you can't reassure yourself when checking the thoughts/ feelings it's impossible the thoughts come with their own energy intrusive thoughts and lots of things all going on at the same time it's meaningless misinterpretation . The more your brain checks the stronger it will become and you will get stuck but none of it is real xx

True, it's just the feeling was so strong in my mind. Like it was the type of feeling I get when I find someone attractive & than also feeling like I wanted to do something inappropriate. The feeling was severely strong it's almost like I could have just did it in that moment or feeling like I could have. It also felt like it wouldn't have even been wrong to do in that moment due to the way I was feeling in my mind, like my mind was thinking in a way it would be okay to do it or something. Just extremely scary how my mind turned on me like that like a switch where it felt like I could have done something really bad feeling like I had to hold myself back.
