OCD Ruminations
The OCD thoughts feel real even when everyone tells you that is how the brain works. Why is it that the thoughts are stuck to you like a piece of gum at the bottom of your shoe?

Because you care a lot I’m guessing. Or maybe even if you didn’t care ocd would make you in order to hold itself in your mind. I have no idea why our minds are like this.
It’s like our minds are racing a million miles an hour trying to solve a problem that isn’t real
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
I don’t know how to deal with the thoughts that come and barely gone. Usually, the brain often remembers and forgets things. People with OCD however struggle with trying to forget the intrusive thoughts because of the imbalance trying to convey what is real and if the thoughts in your head will come true. Just for the past few days, I was having fun and suddenly hit with a wave of obsessive thoughts and making me stuck with nowhere to go.
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know it’s not true but …. » while I personally don’t « know that it’s not true » I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it
