Well I suffer from pretty bad intrusive thoughts. They are everything I fear or would never do. They can be horrible religious thoughts, bad sexual thoughts, or even harming loved ones. It's crazy because anyone who knows me says I'm a great listener and extremely compassionate!
They seem to come at night more than anytime. Especially before bed I'll have thoughts that I'll sleep walk and do something horrible! It's really crazy!! They do also come during the day but it seems I can control my response better.
I've never been diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have pure ocd. I don't take meds for it because I have been able to function most of the time. Ocd runs in my family. I don't have any rituals just thoughts.
At night these thoughts seem like they have more power or intensity. Just wondering if anyone had any kind of advice to help me cope better with these thoughts...thanks!!
