Thoughts are just thoughts. They pop into our heads throughout the course of the day, and vary from theme to theme. Some of these thoughts might be intrusive, or in other words, unwanted or even disturbing. For people with OCD, these intrusive thoughts get stuck on repeat in the mind of the sufferer. Now imagine your most disturbing and intrusive thought, and think about how that might feel to be constantly repeating in your mind. That’s reality for many people with OCD.

It’s important to remember that thoughts are simply thoughts. No matter the content or theme of the thoughts, they don’t define a person’s character. Obsessive thoughts are no different than average thoughts, except that they get stuck on repeat. And it’s important to note that people with OCD do not choose their thoughts or enjoy them.

There has recently been a lot of hate and misunderstanding of POCD going around the internet. No matter the content of your OCD thoughts, know that your thoughts don’t define your character and who you are as a person. You are not alone, and you have a place here in the OCD Texas community.

OCD can best be summed up as a cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, and temporary relief. Notice how compulsions are the culprit for keeping us on the loop!

I hope this can help you visualize the OCD cycle and help you recognize it when it happens.☺
