intrusive thoughts about my brother

[mirandallewelyParticipant]

Hey, i’m very close to my brother, always have been. I’ve also always had OCD ever since I can remember. The big difference how is that my intrusive thoughts are now centering on him. I’ve become more distant and started to avoid him. I thought I was getting away with this but my family noticed me withdrawing from him. How can I possibly tell them, or anyone, that my intrusive thoughts are about my dear brother??
