Oh yeah totally real as in the thoughts exist and it’s a theme ‘Do I really have OcD’ ‘What if I’m doing the wrong treatment?’ ‘What if I missed a compulsion?’ ‘What if it comes back?’ ‘Why do I have OCD and not others?’ Etc, etc

It’s like you said. Do I really have OCD? Like I don’t really feel the need to do compulsions as much. (Which will probably change at some point)🤦♀️. But at the same time, IRL it’s not me at all. Like ism just going through the motions. No feelings at times. Idk. Hard to explain. 🤷♀️

@ListenToTheWind Like you’re completely numb to the thought. Whether you actually liked it or not.

@Anonymous Hmm, I don’t know if I understand the question. But I’m decidedly not numb to the thought all the time, that’s why it’s a theme. But it’s getting better.

Late onset OCD
Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy

Misdiagnosis & OCD
OCD is so much more than just being 'neat' or 'organized'—it’s relentless, exhausting, and often deeply misunderstood. The intrusive thoughts, the compulsions, the anxiety—it can feel like a never-ending cycle that others just don’t seem to get. Many of us have had experiences where even therapists didn’t fully grasp the depth of our struggles. I myself faced difficulty being misdiagnosed and my talk therapist not understanding the full extent of what I was going through until I found NOCD. So many prior therapists wrote off my symptoms as general anxiety, not realizing it was actually OCD all along. If you could sit down with a therapist who truly wanted to understand, what do you wish they knew about OCD?

OCD 'feeling real'
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
