ocd thoughts and heart thougts

[cabsmom]

This helps me some:

When trying to decide which thoughts are my own desires and which are OCD, I can ask myself is this what I want in my heart or am I disturbed by this thought. If I am disturbed by it, then it is most likely OCD. If I am not disturbed by it, then it is most likely a thought from my "heart" if you will.

I hope that makes sense and helps others.

yeah.. that's probably the hardest thing with ocd.. not knowing if it was 'my' thought or 'ocd' thought............ but yeah i think your advice is good. when a thought is according to the person then it shouldn't be disturbing, it should not cause stress.. it should be welcome i guess.
