Yes it is very possible to have ocd about having ocd but you just have to learn to talk back to your intrusive thoughts and then stop the conversation. Realizing they are just a concern or a fear doesn’t make them real and ultimately by spending time obsessing over whether you have ocd is just preventing you from enjoying the present moment. I hope this helps! Sometimes the what if game is a terrible game to play!
I'm a really high achiever, and I worry about my impairments being seen as an excuse too. I realized, no matter how I wish I was not impaired, I am. So, the people in my life are just going to have to accept I have impeding challenges in my life. But if they can, I will do my absolute best for them. I will show them I make up for what I lack with my amazing abilities as well. OCD is a relevant thing in your life and thats okay! Just give it your best and accept when you are impacted. You may find there is magic that lies in your capabilites that good people can still remember on your hard days when you can't show up.
100%. i convince myself it’s made up
I relate
I feel this too
Yeah same, like at first it was obvious that it was egodystonic, but now I'm like, it doesn't feel like OCD anymore, and If I freak out it's cause I'm making myself freak out
I feel like this ALL THE TIME. it’s so scary
I suggest looking into the subtype of Meta OCD. It’s when your OCD gets OCD for some reason.
This theme always feels like I am in denial and that I am somehow using OCD as an excuse. Especially, when I get intrusive thoughts and I don't feel any anxiety.
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 have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know
