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.

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

Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?

I’ve had this feeling all day that I’m just gonna lose control because I’m not checking how I feel. I had this thought like oh well you wouldn’t be brushing your teeth or eating if you was gonna act on it and then I felt relief for a bit and now I’ve started getting thoughts like what’s the point in cleaning or eating if you’re gonna act on it & now I feel confused?? What’s going on

I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
