Can others relate to struggling with recognizing irrational thoughts?

well when i form a belief around something it doesn’t seem irrational to me, it’s not like i want to do that though but because i believe the thoughts so much they don’t even seem irrational at this point

I've realized my thoughts and fears are irrational but that doesn't stop me from worrying about why they're happening

If OCD is irrational, so how come you trying to rationalize the irrational?

Unfortunately I think that is why OCD is so hard, our brains convince us that even the most outlandish thoughts are rooted in reality

Anxiety often arises when certain thoughts touch upon things we hold dear. These triggers can evoke a fear response, whether it's the fear of losing someone, compromising our faith, or violating a moral value. This happens because our brain's fear response and survival instincts take precedence over other concerns. Naturally, this leads to an adrenaline rush, setting off the anxiety. However, once you calm down, you may realize that those thoughts were not as significant as they initially seemed

Yeah half of the time I end up realizing I’m literally arguing with myself but my brain treats ocd like it’s another person trying to force me to do stuff (even though it’s not and I have full control over what I do) it still makes me believe if I don’t argue with it that I’m gonna become a bad person and that I need to argue and be uncomfortable with the fact I have ocd to be a good person (which doesn’t make any sense)
