Ocd can do anything that you don’t want it to. Feelings, thoughts, sensations, urges and the list goes on and on. If you think it’s ocd, it probably is. This is a quote I hear quite often connected to ocd (obvs just change the duck to ocd 🤣) “If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck - it’s probably a duck 🦆”
"Can OCD give us false feelings?" - yes, that's a defining feature of OCD. If you haven't, watch Dr. Peterson's video. "Thoughts are just that, a thought. They are not reality. They are not action."
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
okay u started taking zoloft for my ocd, and everything with thr intrusive thoughts. well ivr had really bad false attraction. and my mind is trying to tell me i should feel guilty for not solving the issues on my own. and using medication is me not getting rid of it, its just temporary. and i cant solve the false attraction/intrusive feelings on my own, like why is it doing this
Hi all, I have false memory ocd, harm ocd and pure ocd, I also suffer really badly from intrusive thoughts every single day. I was minding my nephew last weekend and I got an intrusive thought that I’m ashamed off, I’m now worried that I acted on that intrusive thought and just can’t remember, there’s also a false memory image in my head of me acting on the thought which I’m scared is actually a memory even though deep down I know I didn’t act on it. I’m worried though that the fact I even had this thought in the first place means I’m inherently a bad person who would act on these thoughts. My stomach is sick with the worry I may have acted on it and can’t Remember, anyone else ever have something like this? I start meds and therapy next week so hoping that helps
