self doubt
i keep telling myself i dont have OCD while doing a ritual and that i should stop pretending, so then i suddenly stop doing it. Sometimes i would keep thinking about that and i would start repeating in my brain 'you dont have ocd'. i couldnt even focus while writing this because i kept getting thoughts (not actual sentences, but it was as if there was a lot of noise in my head). I'm really afraid that i could be faking all of this just because i read so many articles about OCD so now it's like as if i do certain things because thats what people w OCD do, and in order to be diagnosed w it i need to do those things. I'm worried that i could be using the excuse of 'i may have ocd' to give an answer to and all the things that I do and did (say ''bad'' things, but not actually bad) and to excuse my laziness so i dont have to blame myself. Also i'm starting to believe that i'm writing this just so i could get what i want, which is being sure that i have OCD even tho i dont. I'm tired of all of this self doubting because i dont know what to believe anymore. People have it so much worse and maybe i'm just misunderstanding the acual symptoms of OCD and what I do are just normal habits. Are these all symptoms of OCD? I dont know if i'm looking for reassurance but it would be so appreciated if someone would help me. thank you a lot.
