Acting ?
Can OCD make you feel like it’s not really OCD? Like you’re just acting or using it as a coverup to not admit you’re a psychopath?

I 100% understand, I feel like I’m just trying to make compulsions to make me look like I have OCD. Like I don’t believe I’m developing new problems I just think I’m trying to get pity or attention because I’m selfish. Doesn’t help either that I don’t have a supportive parent, I suggest telling a trusted person your thoughts, whenever I do it significantly reduces the need to do the bad thoughts

This is exactly what someone with OCD would think! OCD does it to convince you that it's all real, but it's not

Omg! This is exactly what I’m going through🥹 Like i literally have moments when i feel convinced that im not having OCD and I just made it all up to make myself and others believe that i have a disorder and something is wrong with me. I literally felt even today that im just acting and that nothing is wrong with me and i was just in denial my whole life and my fear is actually true and always have been true and im just using OCD as a coverup. Yup. Exactly. So im glad im not the only one🙏 Looks like its also part of the OCD??

@ninkaninga I’m going to assume yes but I’m asking on here for confirmation. I’ve experienced a lot of different content with OCD but with me I get a lot of new things that come in different ways so I can’t always tell what’s OCD all the time and what’s not

I feel like it was never OCD, or it was but now it feels different.
There are moments when something takes over me, like I have to fight myself (literally restrain myself) from acting on my thoughts, like causing harm to my parents or brother. I get these feelings that feel so real, like they are genuinely my own. There are moments when I feel like I like them, and it makes me question whether this is truly OCD or if it's me. Then I wonder whether this is me lying to myself, because I feel the urge to smile at the thought, or feel like I have some pleasure. I check whether I like them, and then I feel like I do, so I stop immediately. I feel like my old self is gone, and I've become this person, and that it was never OCD. Right now, as I type this, I feel like I'm lying to myself. There are moments when I feel like my brain splits, as if this is my new personality. Or there are moments when I feel like it might feel liberating or freeing if I do it. I genuinely feel like this is not OCD. There are moments when I stop the thought, and I feel like it's out of principle, as if I don't truly want to stop at that thought. I truly can't picture this to be my life now. I never had these thoughts in my life until two and a half months ago. It truly makes me question whether it was OCD. I don't get why. I used to view my family as my world, and now my mind is making me scared and feel like my room is my only safe place from them, from me.

Religious and harm OCD
Have you ever felt like you're trying to convince yourself rhat these thoughts are from OCD and not you because you don't believe that you're that crazy or bad? But at the same time you feel panic when you have these thoughts?

OCD?
Lately I’ve been having some thoughts like “i don’t feel real” and I feel disconnected and not been feeling like myself, I don’t know if this is just ocd because I do get thoughts about life and they don’t really cause much panic.. or could this be something else
