Lost
How am I suppose to get better when OCD makes me doubt if I want to get better 😭. It feels like I just want to live in my OCD thoughts. It’s so scary!

I absolutely hear where you're coming from and understand how your OCD can generate these confusing thoughts and fears 😓. You're not alone in this struggle, many of us with OCD often find ourselves grappling with the same dilemma. Believe me, it's not easy, but it's part of our journey. Something that has been helpful for me in dealing with my OCD is this AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try). I found out about it from my OCD support group and honestly, I wish I had discovered it earlier! It's designed to provide personalized step-by-step support when OCD gets difficult, basically working as an OCD therapist. Given you're struggling with self-doubt, I believe it could be incredibly helpful for you because it can serve as a buffer against those intrusive thoughts and guide you through them. I’m here for you if you have any questions about the tool, or if you’d ever like to chat more about your experiences with OCD. 💪

@BiancaSawyer13 Thank you. I would love to talk. OCD just makes me question my entire identity. It feels like I will never get better

Existential OCD
Why is OCD so confusing? My obsessions upset me so much because the truth about them is quite concerning and depressing to me. So how is treating OCD going to help me when it feels like a REAL problem to me. What if I am never able to accept the uncertainty of my issues. It doesn’t even feel like an OCD problem to me…it feels like a reality problem. I’m not happy with reality and the truths about existence, so of course it’s going to make me sad. I guess it’s just my own mind though. My concerns and thoughts are REAL. If I could go back to not thinking about these certain things, my whole perception on life, myself, reality as a whole would be fine. I feel like people tell me it’s OCD but I don’t agree..yet I don’t actually know what the real problem is. What if I can’t accept reality? It’s such a terrifying feeling to have. I feel so crazy.

Scared of letting go of ocd?
This sounds insane bc ocd causes so much pain in my life, but it's almost like I'm scared to let it go?? Idk if that's ocd trying to cling on for dear life or if it's me. Logically I don't want to feel horrible bc of ocd forever but what kind of weird thought of "what if you actually want ocd forever?" ?!

Terrified
I'm scared I've become my thoughts or I think I'm scared, why does it feel like I genuinely want or like these thoughts. Anytime I remind myself it's OCD or that I don't like it, it feels like I'm lying to myself and that I've liked these thoughts. Please someone give me advice, I'd appreciate it
