Its like.... for example: say you met a new co-worker, they are friendly, nice, helpful. So obviously you like that right, because they are good and easy to work with. But then you get confused thinking... do I like him? Is he helping because he has a crush on me? Maybe I love him? And then you get anxious because you don't know whats real. Thats ocd hijacking your simple respect for a good person.

Can it create false feelings though? Like it feels like you do like them and it's scary. I feel like I need to come out like im just trying to be like everybody else with hocd cuz I don't want to accept the truth. I feel different.

Basically ocd can twist thoughts and feelings. So you might be thinking you’re being rational about something but it most likely is ocd; if it’s causing you to over think or worry.

Intrusive feelings are real too.

Absolutely. I think being ocd when we feel anything good, our brains like to take that feeling as far as humanly possible! But genuine attraction is very obvious when it happens, like if you were genuinly attracted, people around you would be nudging and teasing you and saying things like... you two should date! I don't think you would hold back as well. If you are having trouble with thoughts regarding your sexuality, try adjusting your thinking pattern from being, am I straight or homo, or bi? so simply being open to who ever is an amazing enough person to deserve you.

I understand where you are coming from but I don't want to be bisexual or be with women. I feel like i have no choice though and im feeling these things and it feels so real. I want to die. Im so sick of living my life. I just want to get through my day like a normal person

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.

Can intrusive thoughts come with false emotions?
I’ve asked this before and got no response but can ocd try to make you feel a certain way that you don’t actually feel? Such as telling you you’re jealous or upset in a situation when you don’t even care or feel that way at all. Can ocd cause you to feel the emotion along with the intrusive thought even though it’s not your true feelings?
