Can ocd do this?
Can ocd put a thought in your head that feels like you are actually the one thinking it? Not like a normal intrusive thought where it is more like someone else saying untrue things to you?

Yes. It did this to me like an hour ago. It often does this to me when I’m sleepy and on the edge of falling asleep, a thought will come in but because I’m nearly unconscious I don’t fight the thought, so when it lingers for a few seconds or maybe even a few minutes it has the same affect as those dreams you have when you’re falling down and you hit the ground and jump up. That happens with me and then boom, I’m fully awake and in panic. Then it takes me anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to calm down. You’re not alone.
I’ve asked this before and got no response but can ocd try to make you feel a certain way that you don’t actually feel? Such as telling you you’re jealous or upset in a situation when you don’t even care or feel that way at all. Can ocd cause you to feel the emotion along with the intrusive thought even though it’s not your true feelings?
Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?
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😢
