Guilt is one of the bigger things that keep us locked into our OCD. Our subtypes can give us so much guilt and shame and make us feel as if we compulsively try to solve it, that we will eventually be free of the thoughts. It’s important to take the time to recognize that your guilt is a trick through your OCD to make you question your reality. Having core values at these times are important because you can remember that your OCD might be sticky in these moments because it’s making you question the kind of person you are. Maybe you value being a good person, so OCD is locking in. Take this time to remember that OCD isn’t reality.

This is called “meta-ocd” which is doubting your diagnosis. OCD is the doubting disease, so of course you may even begin to doubt your diagnosis. Why? Because if it’s not ocd then you truly must be a pedo. So your POCD is using that fear to even begin to doubt the OCD label. There is no concrete way to prove whether you have it or not. But people have created a set of symptoms that are associated with OCD. Because mental illnesses are really just an umbrella of a plethora of complex symptoms, rumination over the diagnosis itself is not helpful. As for the guilt aspect, it is a normal human emotion. Your OCD is using the emotion of guilt to bully you. I don’t wanna give you reassurance so I will stop here but just know you deserve love and kindness.

Advice?
His so I have a question. Should I feel guilty for things I do like without thinking or naturally. Like for example if I’m around a person I find attractive I will naturally try to be funny or come off as attractive not in a bad way like it just happens I’m not usually aware of it until after it happens.Sometimes I do and say things without an intention it just kinda happens and then My brain after it will Be like oh you did that because of this and that. Or sometimes it’ll tell me I did it for a certain intention that I didn’t do it for, but it’s hard sometimes when I do things without a certain intention so then I can’t tell my intentions and I spiral but sometimes my brain is right and it makes me feel guilty because if I knew that’s was my intention I never would have done it if that makes sense. Is this part of OCD

Does anyone else..
Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.

I feel so much shame
I want to go do something I enjoy so badly but I feel like I don’t deserve it. I’m full of guilt, shame, and anxiety. I wish I felt okay like I did a few days ago. I feel so awful right now. I hate OCD. I HATE pocd. I hate all of it. I wish this was easier. Sometimes I have the thought that I wish I was the things my OCD makes me afraid I am out of desperation to stop the anxiety, but then that thought makes me panic bc I don’t actually mean that or want that I just want the anxiety and urgency in the compulsions to stop. I’m so tired
