Question
Does ROCD try to convince its not ROCD and it’s your real thoughts and feelings even though you know it isn’t?

Yup!!! Think of it as a bully. ROCD is trying to convince you that issues exist where they don’t. Treatment is the way to go to quiet the bully. A big part of the struggle is that people think “what if this isn’t a disorder but just an actual bad relationship I’m attached to or afraid to end”. I guess these thoughts are what make the struggle so debilitating. If it were easy to convince yourself it’s just a disorder and not real, professional treatment probably wouldn’t be necessary.

yes!! it tries to sike yourself out. the reason this thought is bothering you so much is because you feel guilty of even thinking of it. I did some reading and a psychologist stated that many with OCD equate having the intrusive thought to performing the intrusive thought. so even if you have not done it and only have thought it, you still feel terrible as if it has all come true. im going through the same thing. i try to remind myself that it’s not what I want like saying it out loud. hopefully this helps a bit

ROCD + Scrupulously
Have anyone every have ROCD, but the also believe the the voices of ROCD is coming from God, so you hear it in ways that seem so convincing because you don’t want to not do what “God” says? I’ve heard that multiple people were my wife and I have heard to let go of people that are so genuine and great. I’ve been on an world spin. I have Been trying to understand it all sometimes but it’s discourages me a lot and makes me not want to think at all.
