The lies OCD tells us

All or nothing/black and white thinking. When a 1% chance of something bad happening feels the same as a 99% chance. When OCD makes the assumption that the worst case scenario must be true, and will definitely happen, and there’s no other option.

That the thoughts are real…

That you’re unforgivable and don’t deserve to be happy

That my thoughts would become reality or worse; have already happened. It warps anything it can into making you and others seem evil and very tricky to pick yourself up.

That my thoughts are reality. That my worst fears are coming true right before my eyes; and that seeking therapy to undo this is just sticking my head in the sand and pretending things are ok when they're really not.

That I am a bad person.

That you don't have OCD

That your traped by your ocd and you cannot get out. That you cannot have a good life anyway.

That this will never heal

That I’m going to act on them and want them to happen

That this feeling is gonna last forever.

“Just ask for reassurance one last time and you’ll be all set. You’ll never have to ask again”

That I will never have power to escape it's grasp. Luckily, with ERP and my faith, I now know that is not true!

That the obsessive, horrific, terrifying thoughts are worth paying attention to. They’re not.

That everything about myself has changed - my identity, my morals, and my values.

That if I just figure this out, I will have peace

That my thoughts and feelings mean it’s real/true.

Nobody else struggles with these things.

That I am a monster.

That I’m crazy.

That I’m faking ocd and I’m making it all up

That I’m in denial and secretly desire for it to happen

That the intrusive thoughts have value- they don’t! 🧘🏼‍♀️

That you can make it go away by figuring it out !!

That there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I am always on edge. Scared I might snap and lose control. That these thoughts mean there is a crisis.

you’re having these thoughts on purpose and God doesn’t forgive you!

I am the person that I fear I am

That the feelings that come associated with the thought that popped into your mind are real. That the questioning you do in your mind over and over will solve it. Anyone else have a thought at the same exact time you perform an action and your mind goes into a spiral questioning if you did that action because you had that thought first and acted on it? Anyways that.

That the thoughts define who you are as a person

That if it feels real it is

That I have to have everything clean and perfect to be happy and content

That I’m stuck in my thought patterns and that I always will be. That they will prevent me from truly living.

That because I did a bad thing, it means I'm a bad person

That everything is not fine but it is.

That you like it

That you can’t trust your own judgement

That it’s keeping from danger and that this time is different

You’re not going to feel better until I push you to do the one thing you don’t want to do!

That you are on the verge of something terrible happening because of X or Y thing happening.

That my mentation is thinking and that thinking can save me.

That I was possessed and was turning gay without me wanting to and that I was on the brink of psychosis lmao 🤣

No one will ever understand so carry this to your grave

That I cannot trust that it's just OCD and isn't me being right about the future instead.

That urges mean I really want to do it

that i’m just convincing myself that i want my partner and i that im actually a liar and a fake

That’s all my thoughts and feelings are facts

that i don’t have ocd

This time, I will never go away.

“Unless you can eliminate any and all uncertainty behind this thought it is 100% going to happen.”

that i’m never going to “get better” or that I won’t be able to do erp “right” and i’ll be unhappy forever

That I don’t love my partner, I made a mistake for picking him and the feelings for him are all gone/fake.

That it’s inevitable that I lose control or starting planning something terrible unless I take action right now to deter horrible things from happening. OCD truly is the thief of joy.

And that I’m the only one.

I am punished, I am possessed by Satan, God hates me, if i actually want this

That it’s keeping us safe.

That my thoughts are valid and I should be thinking over and over like this cause what I had done in past is shameful . That if everyone gets to know the reality of me, they'll despise me. I don't know if it's lie though.

That there's no escape and that it is always right

Hello I'm Kevin, hope everyone is having a great day 😀

That I am dying of a heart attack

That I might forget to breathe

That God Hates me

And that I want to hurt myself

I am a liar and a bad person.

thats what i feel too, i feel like my intrusive thoughts are manifesting even though i try to push them away. and when i pray i still get them telling me that that won't help.

If I don’t do a certain thing (compulsion) then the result is all my fault

My dad has manipulated my aunt with mental health and I'm afraid it will happen to me

You need to deal with this now!!

Tell me more!!

That Im not worthy of love rest and care. That theres no point in continuing to try to manage my symptoms. That OCD is here to help.

That "insert" person don't love you, and will try to leave or abandon you

That you have to say a specific thing to someone in a specific way in order to get rid of your obsession.

That if I think about something impulsively that it will come true. Then the repetitive thought occurring so much will make me question or believe it’s how I feel.

That I want to hurt people

That I dont believe God exist

SO many lies…that I want to and am capable of killing my family. That I want to die. That I am a psychopath and a serial killer. That I will live in fear for the rest of my life and never get better.

That I can and have to know with 100% certainty that something is right. Any doubt means it's wrong.

that everthings that’s happening is reality

That the only way to make my bad thoughts go away are to think them away 🤦🏻‍♀️

Therapy is trying to district me.

There is no way

that my thoughts are my fault

That im a disgusting monster

A post I made it's because I want my friend to kiss me lol, OCD is stupid

Lie: You don't deserve to be loved, you haven't earned it. Truth: Love is a law, not a reward.

That I am dying

That if I don't do the cycle I feel like I prioritize bad people more than my loved ones...

Yes! I relieve a stressful event i shouldn't have said this or that. I shouldn't have had a tone to me what if someone send i was uncomfortable. Jeeeezzz!!!

Also the constant belief tht is I complete my rituals that my obsessions/impulsive thoughts will reside

That something bad will happen if I do not listen to that voice in my brain

To go back and check literally on everything 🥹

That I had a brain injury in the past and now I have harm ocd, so which one is it? Are the thoughts real from the brain injury, or is this truly harm ocd?
