kika22 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 My ocd has been attacking my love for my cat and making me doubt my love for her. And now when I look at her, where I used to feel love, I feel nothing and that makes me anxious because she's always meant so much to me. Now, I was just out in the living room talking to my mom and as I was talking to her, she began to get out of her chair and as the chair was going down, I got a random thought of, "what of my cat is down there and could get smooshed" and after I thought that I felt like I didn't care. My cat wasn't down there but now I'm scared because what if she would have? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's just an intrusive thought. Nothing more. Brush it off, forget about it and get on with your day. Link to comment
kika22 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was just telling my therapist today that I was getting better at recognizing my ocd and intrusive thoughts. But I have more of a rough time when it involves what I love. Link to comment
Cupcake4 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 OCD is the master of attacking what we love most. Recognise it as OCD and try and apply CBT/Mindfulness Link to comment
