Questioning my thoughts
Does anyone else start to believe something you aren’t sure is true or not but then literally convince yourself that is? This is so frustrating!!

Been there, ruminated that. Also, I first read your name as organized nachos lol
I know how you feel
And then I feel like a crazy person!!!
I just went through my first entry and it’s wonderful! I think this will be very helpful.
I ruminate over everything regarding order and symmetry and all or nothing thinking. It’s very frustrating and has pretty much consumed my life.
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
When an intrusive thought comes I can’t just say “that’s not true” and just move on. I always feel like I have to disprove the thought and be able to say it with confidence but the problem is that the ocd doesn’t allow me to feel and say it with confidence so I get stuck for hours or even days. How can I stop feeling like I need to do this?
Does anyone else experience a moment of clarity where you feel strong relief that the intrusive thought isn’t true, only to then immediately start questioning if you’ve only convinced yourself that because you don’t want the thought to be true? I’m pretty confident it would take some crazy mental gymnastics to actually successfully convince myself I didn’t do something that I deep down knew I did, but every time I resist the compulsions and try to sit with the uncertainty or tell myself to think about what is logical, I usually briefly know that this probably didn’t happen but am unable to move on out of fear I’m just in denial and have convinced myself of that.
