Yes. It is a strange feeling when you can’t identify what is real from what is brought on by OCD. Just remind yourself that you trust yourself and you don’t need any answers right now. That’s what I do and it helps most of the time!

All I know is that I get unwanted intrusive thoughts too...it sucks but you're not alone

I've also kind of been struggling with some borderline depersonalization issues, and I too was wondering if it was related to OCD. It's a weird disconnect.

Still going on, really don’t know what’s happening. In theory my intrusive thoughts not causing me to react should be a good thing but it’s not. Something just feels really off.

@J6 I guess so. I think what’s happening is my OCD is trying to convince me that if I’m not reacting then that means it’s true. I think that’s what stressing me out

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.

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? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
