Doubt
Why does OCD make me doubt the questions i already know the answer to and makes it seem as if I don’t know the answer to that question and makes me want to ask again?

Thats what ocd does, it's called the doubting disorder. Doubts are okay, they're normal. Its what we do with them that matters. 95% of everything we wprry about doesn't happen. That 5% is usually not as bad as we imagined.
@csavva for me it’s a unimportant question that I know the answer to. However, OCD makes me doubt that I even know the answer to it and wants me to ask again to be sure it’s that answer
@DillonLee Just remember to remind yourself that it’s just the OCD. OCD lies. That is all there is to it
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.
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
