Yup I have, and ocd causes a lot of uncertainty, even about having Ocd, Ocd is know to erode your Sence of identity by giving you a fake one or none at all, if that makes sense, you just have to push through the bullshit ocd give you, and that fear of BPD, there’s a good chance ocd caused that too, Ik it’s hard but you can get through this, keep ya chin up, I’ll be praying for you, and I can relate to you aswell

I have dealt with this a lot. I got diagnosed earlier this year and have suffered these symptoms as well. I see in this thread that you believe in God and appreciate prayers and I just want to let you know if it weren’t for God I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am now. Please know He knows OCD better than anyone and He has so much grace for you and you’re never condemned. I’ll be praying for you as well! Psalm 23 has helped a lot to connect back to reality. You are loved!

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Can ocd mimic depression
Can OCD mimic depression? With this theme I’m always wondering if I have OCD or depression. It first started out as harm OCD and now this. Today I told myself if I did have depression then it’s treatable and I would work on it. Then I started to feel depressed and emotional and like had an urge to google the difference. When I did this I just broke down because I felt like I related to them, it made me worse. However when I look up OCD symptoms it makes me feel better. So now I’m unsure. Almost like OCD wants me to believe it’s depression

Knowing the difference
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.
