can it be ocd?

sorry for bothering, for posting too much. but can ocd cause you to sort of.. change? i’m scared i will change. right now i don’t feel like typing all extra with a bunch of emojis and hearts like i usually do. it was usually to represent my values of love and kindness and positivity. but i don t feel like doing that. i feel like typing like this. i’m worried that i will lose my values/morals. i’m scared i am becoming a less emotional or empathetic person. i’m scared that i forced myself to be that way in the past. i’m worried that i don’t know who i am and i will never truly know who i am or feel at peace with myself or my values. i’m worried that because of this ocd i am changed forever. i’m even worried that it isn’t ocd anymore.

hi :) i understand this a lot i went through it quite awhile ago. i do not know your situation exactly but i did feel a similar way. one thing that helped is when im at work or doing customer service, i find myself being kind to others, then my ocd makes me question ‘why’. of course that question cant be correctly answered but i asked myself ‘would i be comfortable being mean?’ and the answer was always no. its simple human nature thats why we are who we are. i am unsure if this is relevant but regardless these moments where you feel you express yourself less can possibly be because of dissociation (this is common dw). it happens a lot. but remember who you are in your heart and the rest will fall back into place. best of luck :D

@pandahope <3 i think acceptance + time. this is WAY easier said than done as im sure you know. but simply knowing that ocd attacks things you LOVE is enough to know that isnt who you are. i am actually currently going through a very similar situation to yours. the main thing that helps is self care and love. when that is done you simply start to care less about intrusive thoughts. as the more you love yourself as you do others, you treat yourself as you would them. this has helped quite a lot. (once again easier said than done) but i know that you will get over this because you still have hope in your heart. that is enough to push you through even the most horrible thoughts, (even the most doubtful ones). hope this helps you :)

Oh my gosh I can totally relate to you. My OCD often targets my character. What if I don't know who I am? What if I am actually a bad person and have been faking it this whole time. It is sooo exhausting! And then once OCD trips you with those thoughts it says it didn't even do it! You don't even have OCD. What a big liar it is. Try not to argue with your thoughts, it's Soo hard tho I know. Sending love 💗

I don't know if this is ocd related but I'm scared I'm not feeling emtions or thinking like a normal person. I've only lived life through my eyes and point of view, what if I'm not doing it right? What of I can't think or feeling anything right and I'll lose it and go crazy. I'm scared I'll never think right again...I really need help with this😣

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.

heartbroken

I am so upset. I really always knew somewhere deep down i wasn’t a terrible human being but over the past 2 weeks something changed, i stopped having anxiety drastically and now have much more difficulty not believing thoughts. it feels like they are real. and i just don’t understand how i could be so repulsed by something the day before this happened and now feel nothing, i’m terrified. i’m 17. i feel like it’s all over. i’ve had periods where i lost clarity before but they came back but for the past weeks i’ve just been stuck and i can’t cope and i can’t explain it and i’m not sure what to do. i feel like these past 2 ish years of dealing with it are all a lies. but it just doesn’t make sense, i want to feel disgust not clarity? and now i feel no hope. i was supposed to get a diagnosis soon but it just feels like everything changed so quickly. how is this possible? im so upset and i can’t breathe or think and im terrified all at the same time as feeling nothing. it doesn’t feel like back door spike it just feels real. im a lost cause, i can’t do this anymore… i wanted to be good and now i feel like im what i feared. please help? i don’t know if this is ocd?
