This feels new to me. Has anyone had their OCD almost make them feel like they can trust anything about themselves anymore? I am obsessing over these thoughts of doubts I’ve had recently and I’m feeling kinda down and sad about it. Any tips would be spread! This is new for me. My OCD has really kicked up the volume and trying new things on me.
Loss of identity is a major struggle with my OCD too
Yes. I feel this way. It is really hard. I kinda obsess on who I “used” to be and I just knew who I was or thought I did at least and now I have questioned everything about myself and the world and I am so lost. It’s like a complete lose of self identity. I have one but I like obsess if it’s correct and if I feel it is right and this and that. It’s really hard.
I used to feel like this too! I couldn't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore, I felt like I was a completely different Person, a stranger! It took me a while to feel "like me" again, I had to accept this horrible feeling daily and push through the day anyway. I didnt feel real either.
@Mimimi66 That’s what I’ve been doing! I really had to wrestle with the acceptance that I’m just a human being who gets weird thoughts that freak me out but I can live through the anxiety and move on. Believe it or not I have really turned yet another page in my healing! So I appreciate your comment and hope you keep growing!
I do not even know how to explain what I am experiencing right now. It feels like I am not even myself and it feels like the thoughts are stronger than ever before and that they are more compelling? But I also do not feel like I’m inside my body so it’s making it extra scary. I’ve never experienced OCD like this before. I’ve been doing a lot better overall but now with this, I’m feeling doomed to just be what my thoughts say. It feels like I’ve lost my mind if I am being honest and every thing is triggering me. It does not feel like OCD this time. Any advice?
My OCD makes me doubt my faith & God! It also makes me doubt myself, my values and literally everything! Makes me even doubt if this is OCD! I love God & Jesus! I know I gave my life to Him! Being reborn! I’ve seen the changes! It hurts to have these thoughts & feelings of doubt! I’ve been having this for 6 months. It started as a thought of “is God real” now it’s like my mind has interrogated me over and over again making me question everything! Yelling accusations at me! Telling me I don’t “believe enough” or “maybe I don’t believe” or “I don’t love Him” and just stuff like that and I hate it! I want faith & belief and I refuse to give up! I try to remind myself this isn’t a Faith problem but an OCD problem but my OCD tries to make me doubt that! Anyone gone through this? Any advice?

Telling me I don’t “believe enough” or “maybe I don’t believe” or “I don’t love Him” and just stuff like that & I hate it! Sometimes whenever I think about it to much it gets so confusing or I need to “fix it”! I want faith & belief and I refuse to give up! I know I’m very hard on myself & I try to remind myself this isn’t a Faith problem but an OCD problem but my OCD tries to make me doubt that! Logic & OCD don’t mix. Has anyone gone through this? Please any advice?
