Does anyone else with Tocd get instructive thoughts like “they may be going through the same thing as me but theirs is actually ocd and mines not?” If that makes any sense. I’ve talked with a few other people who suffer with Tocd and we spoken about how we each are suffering with the same thoughts and feelings but I always get a thought saying like but yours isn’t ocd or something idk I was just wondering idk if anyone else mentioned that

OCD is the doubting disease, so OCD can make you think that you’re doubting that you even have OCD. If these thoughts distress you, and you can not stop thinking about it. Then it’s OCD.

This is exactly how I feel so much of the time. It’s so distressing and I know I don’t want this but then I ruminate and it becomes worse for hours and sometimes even days on end. I tell myself “these people have it and I don’t, mine is different”. It’s all just part of the doubt and struggle. Hang in there, we both can get through this :)
