So, my intrusive thoughts have changed over the years. Some of the ones you mentioned were ones I have experienced. But over the last year, for whatever reason, I have had intrusive thoughts that involve me making myself look up depressing, gruesome, horrible things involving the human body. This means crime type stuff that makes me feel sick or upset. Or different injures or types of deaths or something. Things that I do not need to be looking up and that I know make me feel bad. But then my OCD tells me to do it again, so I get it over with and don't have to worry about it. But I always end up repeating the same habits or patterns. I also became hyper focused on things like my body functions/organs. These are odd and embarrassing things to mention. But I am doing so because I don't know if anyone else has experienced similar things. I did just get set up with therapy and am trying to find a med that works for me, with my doctor.
