Is that a thing ? I've been diagnosed with OCD & I feel like my obsession is about intrusive thoughts and how thinking a wrong thing can totally ruin your experience of doing anything.
Like an amazing moment in your life is going on but you can completely ruin it so easily. It's like I can't get that out of my head.
I feel like I can get any intrusive thought but I doubt that is what's happening. It feels like I'm just getting intrusive thoughts about intrusive thoughts (?) ever since my very first serious intrusive thought.
Some opinions would be nice. I know I don't write in the most appealing or intelligent manner but my OCD blocks me from doing this and anything properly. I don't know what else to do but I can at least get the words out so people would understand something.
There's also this thing where I'm not really emotionally aware of the impact this has on my life, but I can tell that I have lost so many years of my life to this, so many experiences, feelings left unfelt. Help, please.

Well... I don't really know anything about this really. But I noticed no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would. Personally I don't see any reason why a person who has OCD couldn't obsess over having intrusive thoughts. There is, I believe, a large component of anxiety in OCD. And one thing I know can happen is that a person can begin worrying about worrying. Perhaps something such as that is what's going on with you?

Here are links to 6 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that offer tips on how to stop obsessing. Perhaps there are some suggestions in these articles that can be of some help:
