I had a OCD “low” today and my main theme is HOCD. Though today my brain latched onto the thought I have BPD/ Cluster B personality disorder. Has anyone’s else’s ocd done this to them? I don’t want reassurance I just don’t know whether ocd can actually do this as it’s not HOCD.

My OCD makes me think/worry I might have schizophrenia sometimes or get it later in life. Is that what you mean, like it makes you worry about that?

The only reason I don't think stuff like this anymore is because I've had 3 doctors diagnose me with the same thing panic disorder with ocd. My advice find a doctor to give you a diagnosis, then find another, and another if you have to. I'm guessing each diagnosis will be similar. OCD is pretty specific. Worrying about having other health problems is ocd at its finest. I still do this too but not with mental illnesses so I can say it's an ocd thing.

yes i constantly fear i have a personality disorder but i also tell myself to calm myself i mean fine if you have it cool like you and your therapist will just be able to get your life on track more because now you know all the things going on with you but then i freak out because i hear the stories about people with bpd or npd and how there is very little people can do to help them and then i freak out about that

Yeah, or like I have it now because I research the conditions (which I know is a compulsion) then it confuses and convinces even more! Because I think “yeah I do that, yeah I feel like that and yeah I have that thought”

Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist? You could let them know you’re wondering about it and then you can confirm whether or not you’re worried and it’s just your OCD or it’s something that you need to treat. Either way it’s a win! Because you either won’t have it and you’ll feel better about it, or you do and you’ll be able to treat it.

@kittea Most of the time when we research tho we will almost always apply the results to us, I do this a lot 😂 that’s why I almost try to never use WebMD or any other source unless it’s something that won’t make me worry

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Is this a symptom of soocd

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

Can ocd mimic depression

Can OCD mimic depression? With this theme I’m always wondering if I have OCD or depression. It first started out as harm OCD and now this. Today I told myself if I did have depression then it’s treatable and I would work on it. Then I started to feel depressed and emotional and like had an urge to google the difference. When I did this I just broke down because I felt like I related to them, it made me worse. However when I look up OCD symptoms it makes me feel better. So now I’m unsure. Almost like OCD wants me to believe it’s depression
