Venus, I think you're right. Even explaining intrusive thoughts to my first therapist was jumping through hoops of hell. She didn't seem to understand that the voice is MINE, it's thinking. My friend probably saw it the same way.

Bronze, you summed it up really well. I do think she is denying parts of her OCD in fear that it makes her as "crazy" as me. She hasn't been talking to me, and I am assuming my ex friends now all know how "insane" I am.
