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.
I’ve been diagnosed with ocd but sometimes I think I’m faking or I don’t actually, but idk if that’s the ocd tricking me or if it’s true
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
Sometimes i feel like im using ocd as an excuse. What if i dont really have it and im just freaking myself out? Does anyone feel this way
