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 :)

Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
