It makes her so sick and anxious can any one help please! Is it normal to have thoughts like that and for them to feel so real? I will let her read the reply so she knows she is t the only one and it's not just her that gets them

No not yet she is seeing her doctor in morning bless her a part of her is saying yes I want to do it but the other part of her is saying no it's wrong can ocd cause this??? Xx
Definitely, it’s a 24/7 struggle. She must get help though there is no shame in it. It is an illness that a lot of people, including myself can hide when needs be. It is so miserable and takes so long to ease that the quicker she gets help the better.
She seems a little ok at the mo when she's seen she isn't alone but still so scared av told her I get them like all the time as well a get them very bad some days I told her when she gets the help it will get better xx
Thoughts can feel as though they're real. Occasionally I have the horrible feeling that I have said something out loud that I didn't mean to, something that might hurt somebody, but I know it's just that the thought voiced itself in my head so vividly that it just felt like that.
It's perfectly normal, and the difference is that with people without OCD it simply doesn't bother them that much. The thoughts drift into your head, and then drift out again, and you don't pay them much attention. The problem with OCD is that the same thoughts drift into your head, and you attach importance to them, importance which they don't deserve, and hold onto them. So they don't just drift out again.
She certainly isn't the only one. It's an old remedy, I know, but if you aren't doing anything then OCD likes to fill the gap with intrusive thoughts. So it helps to keep busy. And medication might help, if she isn't already taking it, and CBT.
She's so upset with the thoughts a part of her is saying yes I wa t to do it but the other part is saying no it's wrong can ocd cause this?? She is seeing doctor tomorrow so fingers crossed she gets the help she needs!
YES she thinks it could well be because she don't really wanna do it but something is telling her she wants to a said could well be ocd playing tricks on you,
