@leokatiecbt: A sudden image of something terrible happening can be one of the most frightening parts of OCD. Because the thought is so vivid and so out of character, it's easy to assume it means something about who you are. It doesn't. Intrusive thoughts and images are unwanted, and the distress you feel about them is a sign they go against your values, not that you secretly want them. Many people live with these experiences for years before anyone gives them a name. Knowing what they are is often what makes treatment possible, and approaches like ERP are designed for exactly this. #ocd #intrusivethoughts #ocdawareness #harmocd #ocdrecovery
