I understand that feeling for sure. It always puts me through this endless circle of “its just OCD, it’s not true. Wait. Maybe it is true and I’m just saying its OCD to feel better about it” however, every time I get out of that circle and I’m able to think logically again, I always realize that it was for sure just my OCD. Your OCD is going to want you to stay in that spiral but the thing that helps me get out of it is challenging the OCD by saying “so what if it’s true? I will be able to cope with it and get through it.” I know it’s easier said than done and it might not work for everyone, that’s what works for me. I’m sorry you’re dealing with those thoughts.

Yes:) I feel that so much. No matter how hard I choose to follow my values, or whenever I talk about how I don’t want these thoughts, my mind tells me that deep deep down these are true and I’m just convincing myself they’re not. Like @ocdliv said, once I’m out of that spiral and thinking logically, I can easily identify it as OCD, and sometimes it takes a while to get to that point. Keep going, and keep choosing what you value, because YOU deserve that. I know values can get confusing, however, keep going forward. I understand how hard this is. I understand how confusing and difficult and CONVINCING this is. But remember that you can do this. Give yourself that compassion 💓💓

Yep, all the time, it sucks that you can’t trust your own thought process when you have this disorder

OCD 'feeling real'
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort

Is this something OCD does?
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😢

With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
