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

Everything feels so real. I think learning about non-offending pedophiles has really screwed with me. I feel like Iām not even doing compulsions anymore like I genuinely cannot remember if I do them or not and the groinal responses are messing with me. I keep having intrusive dreams and Iām in that half asleep state and I feel nothing after that or I feel weird like a good weird, I donāt know. Itās a really weird feeling when I get those thoughts but I donāt like them, I donāt think. All I know is, I keep seeking reassurance and I feel like I donāt have OCD because the way I feel, like the way I get worked up isnāt the same as others. Whenever I try to watch a show, like 9-1-1 or daily dose of sunshine, I feel like Iām watching something I shouldnāt be. Or if Iām just on my phone, I feel like something is going to happen. I feel red flags whenever Iām on my phone, like somehow cp will appear. I know that OCD is the doubting disorder but my god, this is just crazy. I feel like Iām going crazy. Everything is just nonstop, itās so constant and Iām genuinely scared that Iāll do something when I get out of my room. I donāt know anymore, this whole OCD thing is just making me lose my mind.

Is this ocd? I Have a thought or think something f harmful that Iāve gotten intrusive thoughts about - and get a feeling like I want/like it or it would give me relief??? Please tell me that will eventually go away and Iāll get my real feelings back??? Or have I just turned into those things? Sometimes things that make me upset it even feels like Iāll do them just so I can be upset about them.

Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. Theyāre still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesnāt help but itās been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I donāt want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like āWhat if?ā and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I canāt even look in the mirror because I get scared that I wonāt like what I see. Iāve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I donāt want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I donāt.. Itās just a lot.
