I’ve never thought that it could get this convincing. But here we are.

It can be tough but you must keep trying, time and effort, do not hope for it to end but rather enjoy the current moment

Hang in there friend! As convincing as it is, it's all the same bully underneath that mask. Don't let OCD tell you it's anything otherwise.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Ocd really does convince us- but it all based on feelings. Try to sit through this and be uncertain 🙏

I'm so sorry to hear that OCD is convincing you that your intrusive thoughts are real. You are definitely not alone, I felt that way before I started ERP therapy! Have you been able to see an ERP therapist yet?

I feel for you right now. I know that in the moment it can feel so real. Remember though, thoughts and feelings are often inaccurate. Especially when you have OCD. Please know that you are not alone in this, so many people have been where you are an have gotten through it, you can too.

Is it supposed to feel so real ?
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know it’s not true but …. » while I personally don’t « know that it’s not true » I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it

I know we're all bad here, but today I'm really stuck..
does it also happen to you that during exposure to erp you can imagine that act and scene in detail, and feel some confused excitement that leaves you stressed because it is hard to believe that it is part of OCD, it seems so real! When i can imagine it in detail and feel it like i can actually get arousel about it.
