OCD Thoughts

[Boxers1]

Sometimes I feel like my obsessional OCD thoughts sound like "someone else" in my head saying things in different emotional tones like yelling or angry or evil sounding. It seems I am more afraid of the thought if it sounds louder or angry then if it was just a non-emotional sounding thought. My toughest battle is letting the "loud, angrier" sounding obsessions float through my head and then not physically reacting by learning to say "oh well, I don't own that, or I don't believe that" and try to move on despite the thought sounding forceful or evil. Even if it felt like it was my own purposeful thought bc of the force behind it, I still have to not react and say "oh well" otherwise I will constantly be afraid of the thoughts becoming louder and more agressive and they will keep coming if I keep letting them scare me. Does anyone relate specifically to the "different emotional sounds" that the OCD thoughts make in my head- each trying to sound scarier so that I will react?
Thanks for listening.

I don't have the "emotional tones" like you, However I am aware of the thoughts that are not from me(Meaning from my own "glad" heart which comes with the willingness and a sense of peace, instead of a "forcefull, reluctant, based on fear" type of thoughts which ultimately forces me to act upon them. It might be different for each one of us, but the thing is that we recognize which ones are coming from our own willing heart and which ones are intrusive. I think this is very good to recognize them and then try to act on the thoughts that come with the sense of peace instead of the intrusive ones, something I have been trying very hard to do but not still able to accomplish. GOD Bless.
