Hocd
Does anybody’s ocd make up fake scenarios. Like with my hocd my makes a scenario that I told my parents I’m gay when I’m not. And that I looked at men with attraction in the past.

I would say that OCD is a lier about everything. Yet OCD says “You better listen to me and do what I tell you.” Every time I believe OCD it’s because I can’t handle uncertainty in that area. It can be “Did I just hit someone with my car?” “Did what I just say insult that person?” “Was there COVID on the door handle?” “Am I . . .?” Those of us with OCD have to work on our ERP (exposure and response prevention) so when OCD raises a doubt and we get anxious we have to let our brains calm down without doing a compulsion to relieve the anxiety. Is it hard? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I have shed tears and sweat from anxiety saying “No” to OCD. I have been with NOCD for just over 1 year and it has helped so much. May we all continue to say “No” to OCD 👍.

False memory ocd is a real thing. I agree with Lowell. Ocd is a liar - ALL the time. And it chooses the spaces in our lives where uncertainty is intolerable. Have you had ERP therapy? I have been working with a NOCD therapist and although at the moment have had a lapse - I am on my way back. Those of us with ocd must commit to a recovery lifestyle. Ocd is here to stay but we can manage it.

I feel absolutely horrible!!
I had same Sex fantasies, sought that out in 🌽 before I knew what sexuality was, it’s related to a specific fetish and I used to talk to strangers online including men and I’m scared now what all of this means, I have HOCD, POCD, all sorts of thoughts but I don’t know if it’s my thoughts or my past which is reality. Why did I have those thoughts as a young boy? Why why why? Who am I? Do I even have OCD? What monster am I? I just want to end it all sometimes in all honesty. Not really but sure feels like it. I’m dying inside .

Does anyone ever mimic/imagine harm OCD thoughts?
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.
