SOOCD
Is the statement/experience of “this feels too real and true not to be real and true” common in ocd? Specific to SOOCD, it’s like I’m convinced it’s true, which then moves to “it’s denial”

@Sabo3son$ This is by far the biggest barrier to my engagement with recovery strategies. I’m so convinced or believe the ideas/feelings as truth that it’s like “why bother treating it as ocd then”. And before I know it…I’m ruminating, dry reaching, future gazing and and in pure fear. Do you just have to do a leap of faith? Faith that your psych is correct, faith that this is just an ocd trick?
Like things that feel like ‘evidence’ and clues…. It’s like I can’t let these things go. I’m not talking about ‘signs from the universe’ , I mean actual real life things your ocd is using against you. Not reassurance seeking.
With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?
