People say that if it was the truth, you wouldn't be so scared and anxious but in OCD, you're doubtful and the thoughts cause you anxiety and extreme distress.

I come from a spiritual perspective on this ; Personally my OCD doesn’t make me feel good, so I know it is not my truth. When my OCD got to the point where it was controlling my life I decided right there I was going to find my truth because I didn’t like that one. I went to therapy and learned my own personal coping mechanisms and it blessed me a lot of control and that was how I knew ocd wasn’t my truth.

I'm the same way with certain aspects of my ocd...I think it becomes so ingrained in our brains and when we stop having anxiety, but still can't stop thinking about it the lines get blurred, I'd say a good rule of thumb is if the thoughts are constant and against what you truly believe in your heart, it's just ocd and even if you feel like you believe it, that could just be enotional reasoning?
