Observe the thought and label it "worry." Then let it pass. I also really love the exercise of visualizing the thought as an ice cube and imagine it melting on hot concrete outside in the sun.

Accept your diagnosis and try not to figure it out its another compulsion. Not easy...I hate it too.

Girl me too I think that’s the worst symptom of ocd however what I like to think is , I compare my symptoms with my current theme to my past themes . They usually all make feel and do the same thing . Depression, depersonalization, fear and confusion. And that how I conclude that it most likely is ocd . But of course there’s always that 1% that’s like maybe it’s not . But I think the best thing to do is just not care . Even though that’s hard to .. but I know it doesn’t feel like it but eventually your going to get sick of it being in your head and be like I just don’t care anymore . And it most likely will go away

At some point you have to make a conscious decision and decide it is OCD no one else can make that choice for you. You can live with the uncertainty that it might not be. This is the only thing that will help you get your life back, the discomfort of uncertainty is a worthy price to pay for being able to live the life you want. Remember certainty is an illusion no one can really be certain if anything

Is it in my head
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know

I just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

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.
