If my fear was true
Does anyone else think that they would just never act on it if turned out to not be OCD? Because I feel like that would be me. I just don't want it even if the ocd makes me feel like I do.

Same I feel the exact same way. This is not the lifestyle I want even though my brain is telling me something else

It would be me, and at the same time I am tormented by the fact of losing access to my preference, the thought of not being able to live a life keeps me depressed. And although I know that I would not act, I still have anxiety about ending up acting under an impulse, don't you feel that there is also a kind of pressure from society in that aspect? If you comment on what is happening to you, they would call you that you are in the closet or that you should experiment... Hey, I don't want to experience anything, thank you

Same! And then I’ll say to myself something like “are you seriously not going to try it if this is what you really want” so yikes

Yea me too. For me like, I get scared of the thought that i’ll have the urge to do something or if someone asked me what my orientation was, i’m scared i’ll say something i don’t want to say because of my ocd. Like Im just in my head so much everything feels awful. Recently i’ve been on dating apps and they ask for your orientation and I always put straight but because i’m so freaking scared that i’ll accidentally or impulsively put gay, I get so anxious and it’s like a never ending cycle. I have to always check 10000x that it’s not gay and then because i’m constantly checking, my ocd tells me it’s because I really wanna put that 😒 this just sucks man

How do I know it’s ocd
I’ve had this feeling all day that I’m just gonna lose control because I’m not checking how I feel. I had this thought like oh well you wouldn’t be brushing your teeth or eating if you was gonna act on it and then I felt relief for a bit and now I’ve started getting thoughts like what’s the point in cleaning or eating if you’re gonna act on it & now I feel confused?? What’s going on

Question
TW: Philosophical, Worry Does anyone else start to feel anxious at the thought of “what if OCD becomes fake one day?” In other words, “what if OCD gets debunked in the future?” Not trying to scary one just curious

Unsure if OCD sometimes
I was diagnosed with OCD around the age of 6, subtype- contamination primarily. It calmed down as I got older and I assumed it had gone away, but also didn’t realize it can show up in other ways, and it still had been effecting me which I know now. I’m not 31 and I’ve been in therapy for a year and it’s helped a lot, although I sometimes get thoughts that what if some of the stuff I’m dealing with isn’t ocd and I’m exaggerating. I feel like thoughts will feel sticky and I’ll do certain compulsions but then the thought eventually vanishes if I do it a few times which makes me think maybe it’s not OCD since other people/friends I know would probably do the exact same thing. Not sure if I’m making sense, but I guess my question is if that thought comes up with anyone else? Just being unsure if something you’re doing actually is ocd or not.
