Anyone else struggle with existenal OCD? I get really weird thoughts... like "what are thoughts" .. "how do I know that everything I read, hear and have been told about ocd is true" "how do I know that everyone is really helping me and not some kind of Trueman show character" "how do I know I'm not here alone and everyone I see or here is just a figament of my imagination" .... is this all really ocd or could it be more?? 😔... it really freaks me out... anyone else experience this?

Yes. Currently my ocd fear is that this is no longer reality and I don’t exist things like that. It’s awful. Because those questions will never be answered! The ultimate uncertainty

This is me 100% and it does get better!! Let me know if you want to talk!

Yes this my theme, comes and goes because whether we like it or not we have to live - I’ve gotten over it years ago. Then I had a set back. It is all ANXIETY- it’s not the thought it’s how it makes you feel

Existential OCD is one of my biggest themes to deal with. It feels super hard to experience but it definitely is treatable with ERP!

Is Existial OCD also thoughts about your Death, meaning of life and what’s after life?

Yes I'm exactly the same... I feel as though I may be the only person that is real and be alone ?? Do you think things about ... what are thoughts.... how do you know everything you do, think and know is all fake and been made just for u to believe?? This is what I get and its horrible...how do u get out of that...?? Cause I could think this about ERP etc ??

Hi guys dealing with this now. The strange part is, even when I tell myself it’s OCD thoughts; there’s like derivative thoughts that keep coming up; like checking my memory, my thoughts saying “it’s not real” every time I try to distract and more. I really don’t know what to do because sometimes I “feel” like these thoughts are true. Still pretty functional and rational; but can’t stop this feeling / thoughts.
