Yes I agree it does. It is the doubting disease and loves to attach to the things that are most important to us. Try to keep in mind OCD presents a non-balanced and one-sided picture. Recovery is possible; be kind and patient with yourself. Are you in therapy with a trained OCD therapist or NOCD? If you are not in treatment for your OCD, you may want to consider reaching out to the NOCD care team for a free 15 minute consultation about treatment options; please see the link below; https://www.treatmyocd.com/calendar?src=homepage&_gl=1*dpgbx1*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE2MzY2NTk5MTQuQ2p3S0NBaUFtN09NQmhBUUVpd0FydkdpM0QwaEhYczN1Q0ZabWhVRUF4RndaaDJoa3AxbTRnek9TRWQweUJ4U3pqeU1SRU9FNGVwZkFSb0NNY0VRQXZEX0J3RQ

Hey, yeah it sure does ! It creates endless doubt. It’s nick name is the doubting disorder and that’s exactly what it does ! OCD is ego-dystonic, meaning it creates thoughts, impulses, behaviours that are distressing and go against our self-concept. It’s learning to accept the uncertainty, this is when you gain control and OCD looses it! you can do this, your strong ! ill attach some great links for you to have a read over.

Gaslighting
I have a family member who has a mental health degree but seems to use their knowledge to label all of our relatives as narcissistic or as having other negative psychological traits. This usually happens whenever someone disagrees with her. Recently, she told me that if I feel guilty about a recent argument we had, it's not her problem that I haven't appropriately dealt with my OCD. I feel like this was a strategy to get under my skin and to use my OCD against me, because this relative knows how important my recovery has been to me. Has anyone else here experienced this type of gaslighting (disregarding your feelings or opinions based in your OCD) & how have you handled it, whilst maintaining fidelity to ERP?

Confusion
Does anyone else feel like OCD is asking you to ruin your life and make decisions/things that you don't want to do because it's "what I secretly want"? It feels hard to even know what's real anymore.
