Anyone else feel like sometimes they can be rational when talking/responding to other people when they’re panicking. Like for example, explaining that what they’re saying or freaking out about doesn’t 100% mean they’re in denial or that what they’re explaining sounds like OCD. But when it comes to me that rational part doesn’t work at all!! Even if I’m stressing out about the same thing as another person with HOCD. I’ll be like they have HOCD but you’re just in denial and faking HOCD. Anyone else relate?

Hi everyone☀️ has anyone ever vented to a friend without knowing it is a compulsion? Meaning like you believe the thoughts so much in your head you vent to them and they agree with you? Which then fuels your obsessions about your relationship even more? I have really done that less lately the more I have learned about my ROCD, but wanted to know if anyone else experiences this? It’s so hard when we think we are just venting and then someone agrees or goes along with the obsession because they don’t understand the OCD..which then fuels my ROCD 😭 idk if I’m making sense lol hopefully someone understands

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?
