Any thoughts on Meta OCD? Is that real?

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.

OCD based in real fear……
How do any of you guys deal with OCD that’s latched on to something real? I don’t mean real event OCD but a real thing?

Prayer obsession meta ocd
I have an obsession with doing bad prayers and it’s worse cause of meta ocd. I feel like I can psyche myself out into doing prayers I wouldn’t normally actually do. It’s not all just intrusive prayers either, but that is part of what Meta ocd is targeting. One issue, is that because of it, I’ll start praying for every little thing, like there to be enough soap, etc. I wouldn’t normally pray for this, but thanks to meta OCD I am and I still want it. This creates a bigger issue when there are other desires I have that I want but wouldn’t normally pray for. I can psyche myself out into possibly praying for those and meaning it, however this would not normally happen. Basically there is the fear of doing the prayer I know I could do. Then the fear of the fear of the prayer. Then the fear of the fear of the fear of the prayer, and it causes a lot of anxiety, and can lead to me actually doing it. I’m sure there can be confusion as to how much I mean things, but ocd will also hand select things I can mean (not just intrusive thoughts, since meta ocd is targeting things that aren’t intrusive thoughts). One way this goes away is if I allow myself to pray for all the bad things, even if I mean it. Because everything will go away, including praying for enough soap or something. But then I’m stuck on the fact that I prayed for the specific things. If I don’t do it, I’m stuck worrying about how my mind is going to manipulate me into praying for something
