while ive seen a lot of posts clarifying what intrusive thoughts actually are (aka legit distressing stuff and not “eat that leaf”) and think thats really good, ive also seen a lot of stuff with comments like “everyone gets intrusive thoughts sometimes. theres nothing wrong with you” and while thats technically true i feel like it could be misleading to a lot of people who need help, esp those with undiagnosed OCD.

like yes, everyone does get intrusive thoughts like “crash your car” occasionally. the majority of people respond to them by thinking “huh thats weird. lets not do that.” and then moving on. However, having frequent intrusive thoughts and high stress responses to them are a core symptom of OCD and really should not be brushed off as “something everyone has”.

the Obsession part of OCD is literally intrusive thoughts. the thoughts are highly stressful to the person experiencing them, and the “genre” of these thoughts can be pretty much anything. for example:

“what if i get sick and die”

“what if i hurt myself or someone else”

“what if im not the gender or sexuality that i know i am?”

“what if ive offended god?”

“what if my partner doesnt actually love me or i dont actually love them?”

“what if i lose control of myself and do something bad?”

“what if i dont do an action and then a disaster happens?”

the Compulsion part of the disorder is the persons response to the intrusive thoughts. for example, somone afraid of becoming sick might wash their hands repeatedly. someone afraid of hurting themselves or others might avoid kitchen knives or anything else they could “accidentally” hurt someone with. a person might rigorously examine their own memories and feelings about the thoughts to try to “disprove” them. basically compulsions are what someone does to try to make the thoughts go away or to alleviate the stress from them.

basically, everyone gets intrusive thoughts occasionally, but if youre having them frequently and are highly distressed by them, please dont write it off as “overreacting to a universal experience”. bc its definitely Not universal

Do you ever just get this sick nauseating feeling in the pit of your stomach when you remember that you have a body? A body that could be perceived sexually? The realization makes me want to vomit.
