Does anyone else not know who they are due to ocd?

Everyday I wake up and I work hard to figure out how I can become a better version of myself, as if myself at this point in time and anything before this was a “worse” version of myself. I didn’t realize this was ocd until I was diagnosed but ever since I was young, I have never felt ok with who I am and it’s the reason why I even persue my dream so ruthlessly, Making music is my passion but ocd completely ruins it for me. Does anyone else feel like their ego is shattered or that they are stuck in their own head and can’t see through their own eyes?

Like you're trying to figure stuff out and "level up" in real life? That type of thing?

hey there, i really feel for you. it's tough when something that should bring joy, like your passion for making music, gets tangled up with ocd struggles. 🎶 it's not easy feeling like you're constantly battling with yourself to be "better" when you're already doing your best. i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, but i get how exhausting it can be. so, something that my local ocd support group recommended, and has been a game changer for me, is the "unstuck ocd therapy tools" app. it's pretty cool because it provides ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. it might help you find a bit of peace in those moments when you're feeling really stuck. also, i've found the ocd stories podcast super helpful. it's full of insights and experiences from others who are navigating the same choppy waters. might be worth checking out. 🌊

hey, i totally get where you're coming from. it's really tough when something you're passionate about like making music gets tangled up with ocd, making it hard to enjoy the things you love. it sounds like you've been dealing with this for a long time, and that's really brave of you. have you heard about "unstuck"? it's an ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (check it out at unstuckmyocd.com). it's been a game changer for me this past month, and i really think it could offer you some support too. another member here recommended it to me, and i just wish i'd known about it sooner! 🎶💪

Does anyone ever feel like they don't know what they truly want anymore? feeling a sense of loss of identity? To stick to what they truly believe is correct or what OCD is telling them? and feel like their desires are changing since OCD?

I feel like no one knows the real me, I dont even know the real me anymore. OCD has been my identity for so long I always wonder who the f would I be without it. My thoughts and opinions change so rapidly I dont know if their my own anymore. My moods and emotions are so up and down I'm wondering what's the real way that I feel. Have I just been lying all my life.
