OCD is a LIAR. Full stop.

One of the reasons why intrusive thoughts can be so distressing is the doubt they create. For example, if you value being faithful in your relationship, OCD might try to convince you that you secretly want to cheat on your partner. And even though that’s not something you’d ever really want to do, the thought can still feel very convincing and real. If you struggle with deciphering the lies OCD tells you, and you feel afraid they might be true, you’re not alone. Remember, OCD doesn't REVEAL who you are. It ATTACKS who you are by going after your values. The reason these thoughts feel so wrong and distressing is because they go against who you actually are and what you really want to do. You are not your intrusive thoughts, and you don’t have to deal with them on your own. We have OCD-trained specialists who can help, and our team can connect you with them anytime.

Read each slide and I can admit some of these intrusive thoughts have come up for me. So random and uncomfortable knowing that these things are something I’d never do. I think my OCD stemmed from how much fear I’ve had in my heart of everything and how much I overthink. I always had a fear of going mentally insane.

I can relate, though last year I genuinely thought I was going insane. It's interesting to see that it was OCD all along.

I have similar fears and just wanted to say you're not alone. ERP is hard to commit to but everytime you practice it, it works! The hardest struggle for me is OCD seems to adapt to other intrusive thoughts so working on applying ERP when it catches you off guard is so important.
