Does anyone else get repetitive questions about your OCD thoughts. Like if you like them or would like doing them?
It seems as if my intrusive images have stopped and turned into questions. I really have no interest or desire to act out on my thoughts so is that the answer to my questions? Just curious!

Yes, I've had periods where my Magical Thinking OCD ones about how something could happen to my parents if I didn't follow X ritual would make me feel amused or that they should happen.

It doesn't mean you want them, its just an incorrect association of these things in your subconscious. This is proved by the fact your conscious mind views them completely differently.

Well done on losing the images, I remember how they were distressing you from your earlier threads.

The next step is to stop the rumination because it only keeps the cycle going. Rationalise it and work on not entertaining it, distracting yourself, etc and in time it will decrease.
