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.

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know itās ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it wonāt bother me but other times I really really donāt know. Itās when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing theyāre something theyāre not or something that doesnāt align with my true morals or intentions. But since itās twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I canāt trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I donāt have ocd at all and Iām just in denial because I donāt want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe thatās just the ocd talking.

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Iām going through a really bad relapse and right now Iām trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I wonāt act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I donāt know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because itās so long and Iām so unsure of everything thatās going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. Iām so confused.

Is it supposed to feel so real ?
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like Ā«Ā I know itās not true but ā¦.Ā Ā» while I personally donāt Ā«Ā know that itās not trueĀ Ā» I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it
