Can ocd appear as feelings to?
I always am ruminating on how depressed, or numb, or sick I feel. Is this also ocd how do I do ERP for intrusive feelings?

Yes definitely - I am trying a new technique - labelling - I just acknowledge the feeling in my head - “I’m feeling queasy” or just saying to my self “nervous energy” and I really do my best to just carry on with what I’m doing and not go down the path of - “hm why am I feeling nervous? I thought I was better but I still feel nervous.. there must be a reason I feel nervous.. oh god I’m never going to be better” spiral. I hope that helps? Just label your feelings and do not engage. Best of luck and strength to you x

I’m sorry to hear that you are dealing with OCD and the unwanted feelings that come along with it. It is very common for intrusive feelings to come along with OCD so you are not alone. Practicing non-engagement techniques can help stop the OCD cycle. You got this!

Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?

ERP for Existential OCD?
Been struggling with existential OCD lately. Very hard to describe the thoughts/feelings, but it is a constant feeling of being stuck in my head. Like what is consciousness and where do I think from? Like I think it’s OCD, maybe it is maybe it isn’t. But if it is, what would be good ERP exercises? Just existing (lol)? And what would be my response prevention? I’m not even sure what mental compulsions I may be doing.

With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
