you are concious of how you feel. that is the first indicator that you are normal and just experiencing an episode. your perspective is unique and tailored for you, you are doing everything correctly. even right in this moment you are where you need to be. these thoughts will pass and come to strengthen you.

i feel like that makes sense when the mind runs out of things to analyze and pick a part and bully you about it starts analyzing the mind itself so that way everything that made sense to you no longer does and everything is confusing and scary ive definitely been in some weird thought spirals where i dont feel like anything makes sense hang in there i hope you can find some relief and know that this community is here for you š

Hi Makki! Anything could be an OCD obsession; I unfortunately cannot provide reassurance to you :( (and actually there's no way I could verbally prove to you that you and I are thinking "normally" ^^) Yet, OCD can be isolating and make us doubt our experiences and actions - that's something you probably experience with other themes (?) Is there anything you found particularly triggering with this fear?

I definitely agree, I get triggered that I'll never feel normal or will lose it and go crazy

@Makki23 I've been struggling pretty often with the same kind of thoughts and there's unfortunately no other option than sitting with uncertainty >< You cannot know for sure how different someone else's experience can be and even if someone would make you take a test that could prove you that you are not a psychopath for example, your mind would probably start make you doubt the result or your answers, always and forever looking for more certainty ^-^ I hope it'll get less intense, don't be too harsh with yourself :) Take care ā”

I think even these thoughts are thinking like a ānormal person.ā Not to get weirdly philosophical, but this reminds me of descarteās āI think therefore I am.ā The fact that youāre thinking about if youāre thinking normally shows that youāre aware of normal and abnormal thinking, so youād notice if you were thinking weirdly, especially because youāre hyperaware of your thinking. Haha does that make any sense? It was kind of rambly. I also think if you were truly thinking abnormally, your friends/family/anyone would have said something or noticed

@Makki23 I even know people without ocd that fall into that weird existentialist hole, so Iād go as far as to say normal normal

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.

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? Iām going through a really bad relapse and right now Iām trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I wonāt act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I donāt know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because itās so long and Iām so unsure of everything thatās going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. Iām so confused.

can ocd make you question your mental health?
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, iāve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and itās very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? iāve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normalā¦. im heartbroken. so many what ifās. did i just ruin my own life?? š
