getting my head around ocd


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forum, Ruth.

It is very common for people with OCD to come to believe they are somehow evil. We know the thoughts come from our own minds and we get sickened thinking that we are capable of thinking such thoughts. What we don't always realize until we've learned enough about OCD is that we are not responsible for generating the thoughts. They are being generated by a mental disorder that we do not control.

Hi Ruth, welcome! I'm glad to hear that you are learning about OCD and especially realizing that its not a reflection on the type of person you are! Many people struggle with those same types of troubles, the thoughts that plague us can be so terrifying, but they aren't who you are! Good luck with your recovery I hope you find the forums helpful!
