Hey You may find yourself engaging with the new thought by: Trying very hard to get rid of it. Trying to replace it with ‘positive’ thoughts or images. Attempting to figure out the exact message/meaning of this thought. Wondering what having such thoughts might mean about you as a person. Asking others for reassurance hoping to hear that the thought is not harmful. Attempting to neutralize the thought with a mental ritual If you catch yourself doing any of the above, it likely means that the thought has become an “OCD-thought” and that it interferes with your life. Its not your fault. It wont go on its own. You have to take treatment. Both in the form of medicine and therapy Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling online All the best
