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.

Confusing what you actually think or want
does anyone else struggle with this? is it actually OCD or am I just tripping??? It’s like my mind tries to get the best of me, it tries to tell me I want something different from what I actually want or think a way that doesn’t really align with me, my values or even lifestyle? Just me??

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
