OCD can cause all sorts of confusing intrusive thoughts. A common one is the OCD intrusive thought that you or someone around you may turn into something else. OCD loves doubt and this type of doubt can feel overwhelming.
OCD isn’t always a fear. This can confuse not only parents and kids but even therapists. We can be digging and digging feeling like we are missing something when in reality the problem is right in front of us. OCD doesn’t have to be about fear. There are many OCD themes that center around a feeling. These can be feelings of disgust, grossness, not just right or a feeling of incompleteness to name a few.
