The fear of not feeling anxiety with intrusive thoughts is a common concern that many people who experience intrusive thoughts have. Intrusive thoughts are unwanted and often disturbing thoughts that pop up in our minds without our control, and they can cause anxiety, fear, guilt, or shame.

However, some people may experience intrusive thoughts without feeling anxious or distressed, which can lead to confusion and worry. They may wonder if this lack of anxiety means that the thoughts are not really intrusive, or that they are not experiencing them correctly.

Do you ever get worried that you're not feeling anxiety? 🤔

[MrCaprisun]

My OCD traps me when i don't fear it because the thoughts are not me, and i know I won't do the action, and the ocd says that means you want it and like it then i try to check to make sure fear is back so i don't worry so basically fear= safe
No fear = you like/want the thought, and i know it's false

You're such an angel for the people suffering from OCD I hope you'll keep making videos like this in the future too!

I think you’re videos might genuinely be saving my life just now

[LurkingLinnet]

❤ i always come back to this video. Thanks Mate

Sometimes I try to force myself to feel anxious. I'm anxious when I'm "calm" physically and anxious when I'm anxious.

[FlorianLopezMusic]

I did not do a lot of ERP, because... I'm still not convinced what I'm experiencing really is OCD. But, I can say that I'm getting so used to anxiety, that it's become part of me now. So there are moments where I'm just not reacting much to my topic of anxiety ("HOCD"), and this can be disturbing... I suddenly realize that I "should" feel anxiety, and it can indeed throw me back into ruminations.

This is 100% spot on. Excellent insight. Very helpful.

[zulgazulga]

Thank you for your videos man you’re a lifesaver in this community

[hahahaha-ypdx]

Along with this video, a lot of my intrusive thoughts dont even want to stick around for longer than a second anymore. It has caused me doubt if im pushing them away or not but all i do is give the same reply "nice" "cool" "maybe, maybe not" and when im doing replying i notice they arent still rampent in my head like they used to be

[sergefoppossi]

Good analogy! It takes courage to realize that you are doing it to yourself.

[christinagreaves]

Thankgod for you, seeing people in this feild is so much money, you help so many, thanks ❤❤❤❤

I have been doing 85% better

Casting Your Care. Is Also A Form Of NOT CARING Anymore. By NOT Caring, You Drain The Power Away From The Thoughts You

[giuliaguidorizzi]

Right now it doesn’t cause me anxiety but I still don’t like the thoughts. It’s stressing me out mentally cuz I just want to be happy and I can’t tell if these thoughts are me or now. I hate it.

[Madsi-uw]

i miss the anxiety that comes with it, i hate this

[dikshasharma]

Sir please can u make a video on stopping the habit of having intrusive Earlier my thoughts were out of anxiety bcz of my break up.... Bcz they became a bad escape from the heartbreak.... But now it's been 8-9 months and now I'm in a very healthy relationship... But now i have become habitual of those intrusive thoughts like... Pedophilic thoughts, hcod, tcod... I just want them to stop bcz i really love my man i don't want to jeopardize my relationship

[xandyr]

For A long time I thought my ocd was "just anxiett" what's the difference between rumination that's regular anxiety vs pure o cd?

[mrkyu]

Hey, I’m having trouble telling if I’m done with needing to work on ocd. I didn’t really track my work and thoughts all that well as I got better, and at this point I’ve been unsure for quite some time. There’s little compulsions I find now and then, but in general it’s difficult to know what to do for exposures when the obvious stuff is gone (my ocd was very severe but not at all now)

[__MPires__]

Hey!
Is it possible that you can cover the "return" of OCDs thoughts?
For me, most of my worse OCDs fears come and go.
Sometimes they stay calm in my head for years, then all of the sudden, they come back and I still get panics over them, altho I don't stop my life anymore.
