Ocd or me?
How to know are your thoughts OCD or it’s just you. (if that makes sense)?

Well to answer the question indirectly, if we fixate on what is OCD and what is not we can "develop" meta OCD, OCD about OCD. And there exists anxiety about anxiety, etc. I've learned from professionals that the key is whether it causes _dysfunction_ or disorder for you. If it does, then professionals can help provide guidance, diagnose, etc.
@A23 Weirdest part is I think my whole life I’ve had something, just last 3 yrs THIS time of year it flares up bad, just everything in general? Stomach feels funny, then just goes away.,
@Boss34 I can feel it come on and feel it go away..
The key is to stop asking that question. Instead: learn to see how it feels and acts.
I struggle with that a lot too 😅
I wonder that too, is it ocd or just a bad habit that plays over n over in my head?
Could be both pretty much
How can I tell the difference between suicidal ocd and suicidal thoughts?
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
