OCD is not bound by logic. Even if you know all the evidence, you know it's just OCD, you will still continue to doubt yourself and felt that those intrusive thoughts are so real. The fact that you still doubt yourself after hearing all of the logic is in fact a part of OCD

OCD is a doubt disorder at some point so the fact that you doubt even official diagnosis just proves that you have it and that all thoughts is NOT YOUR FAULT. i’m sorry that it still makes you feel so bad, but that’s not your fault too! try not to put so much pressure on yourself (as it possible) and give yourself some time to understand and to accept everything. you deserve to be loved and happy ♥️

You can’t forget about them. You learn to live with them and let them be there. The more you try to forget the stronger they get. Just live your life with them there. They will get less. I promise. But they will be there because they are a part of 98percent of all people’s lives. It’s hard to believe but true.

It's like the more you think about how to stop the thought or try to figure it out, the more power you give to it. It will slowly eat you out and makes you feel more and more terrible. So maybe whenever the thought came up just think "Oh it's that thought again. To hell with you" then stop thinking or lingering with it.

@Jay222 Ignore or try to turn it off a thought won't do much. A compulsion is when you perform something to get rid of the thought. The difference between a compulsion and what i just suggest it's that you accept that it's there but you refuse to analyze it and let it drift. "Oh it'a that thought again" you accept that it's there but you won't interact with it. Or "Maybe that thought is true but maybe is not true either. After all your are just a thought" you create uncertainty about the thought and then decided that whatever the truth, you are just a thought, beat it.

@pokecryst I just say “whatever” to myself.
