what if you lived with both equally without answer? if you always spend time trying to rationalize what is your real thoughts and what is ocd thoughts - you're giving in to ruminations.

I don't want to do what ocd tells me, it's the reason why i want to know where is real and where is not

@xqrsljk Just allow all thoughts to be thoughts! Your intuitive gut feeling will tell you when to make the right choice. You donāt need to give an answer to every thought.

@Jesse Miller I can deal with intrusive thoughts and recognize where is ocd and ehere is not, but with intrusive feelings it's much harder

@xqrsljk What if when you get intrusive feelings, instead of trying to figure out if itās reality or not - you write down what they are and return to them later? This will give you time to sit with the anxiety of what the thoughts are making you feel, but also, when you have a more rational mindset later, you can read back and be like hey that was a silly thought.

How do I truly know if itās ocd or not?
So how would I know if itās truly ocd or not? Like by accepting uncertainty, will I eventually realize if it was false or true attraction and if it was actually ocd or not? For example I was out today, right after my therapy appointment, I saw a kid that looked exactly like this girl my age that I was into. I felt a sense of attraction and I immediately went into the restroom to hide or smth I donāt remember, but when I came out I think I avoided looking at the kid. Idk if it was false attraction or not, I hope it was but Iām not sure. I canāt really tell. FYI I was never formally diagnosed with pocd before, but my therapist said that I have it but I still donāt believe it. I still feel like itās not pocd because of the attraction feelings, I canāt tell if I like the feelings or not. I donāt feel any of panic, worry, distress, guilt or shame after any of those feelings. I did start crying when I got home tho idk why or what for, but I went to take a nap for a while and when I woke up it kind of became clearer if it was real or false attraction, but itās still really unclear, I donāt get why I would feel that way towards a literal child, is it bc she looked like this girl my age that I was into? I hope it was false attraction, still canāt tell.
