like with all obsessions, you need to accept/grow comfortable with it being the case. so accept the possibility that you dont know who you are anymore. 1 way to do that is to expose to the idea in your imagination and sit with the way it makes you feel without avoiding, distracting or doing other compulsions. good luck! you'll get there

Makes me feel lost. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore.

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.

will i eventually understand my ocd better?
i was recently diagnosed with ocd and i think im having a hard time identifying what is my ocd and what isn’t? or im not really sure how to express myself but i feel like i still don’t really know much about ocd and feel like an imposter saying i have it because i don’t know enough about it to really understand it? like all my life these things i would do or say or think or feel were i guess “normal” to me,, so how do i move forward when i don’t know really where to begin?
