It's so exhausting and emotionally tiring having OCD. But however real the urges feel, that doesn't mean you will act on them. It is as though they like to taunt you with what you really know you wouldn't do.

If the thoughts don't scare you so much that is good. It's nothing to get upset about. The thing about OCD is that it likes to make out it's your friend, but it's a false friend. It's as though you manage to say, 'I'm not scared of you, OCD anymore, or the thoughts you try to make me think!!' But it can feel a bit like going it alone, without your false friend. And that false friend still tries insinuate their way back into your life.

It's OCD messing about with your head, which is what it likes to do!
