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
@Anonymous 25# Idk today ive read about Meta ocd which is obssesing whether or not you actually have OCD.
So I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've been diagnosed with OCD for a couple years, and I've had symptoms since as far as I can remember, but I still feel like maybe it's all in my head and I'm just imagining all the compulsions? I sometimes feel like maybe all the struggling from compulsions is just me trying to sub-conciously manipulate other people to do things for me out of pity. I don't like the pity, and I want to be able to easily do things for myself, so I know it makes no sense, but sometimes I just can't talk myself out of it. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Does anyone else feel like they’ve really just convinced themselves they have OCD just to feel better about the thoughts and feelings they have? Sometimes I feel like a liar or a fraud. I’m undiagnosed and sometimes I feel like an imposter on this app. I worry that I’ve just convinced myself of having OCD as an excuse for my thoughts and feelings, so I can feel better.
Do any of you ever convince yourself that you are faking your OCD in its entirety, I am uneducated on what ocd even truly means even tho I have been told I have it by my psychiatrist that I do in fact have OCD. Because I’m uneducated on the disorder tho, that means that I can’t tell if a lot of the things I think and feel are normal or not, and whenever I think it’s OCD there’s this loudd voice in my head that tells me I am faking it completely
