You don’t. OCD wants you to figure it out, but you have to sit with the uncertainty. If you ruminate on your thoughts it’ll only confuse you more and bring you more anxiety

@lizardgurl I understand that it’s hard, but you have to try to not figure it out. You shouldn’t be making crazy life altering decisions when you’re having an OCD episode. Work on the OCD first and then once you’re in recovery you’ll have a better idea of which thoughts are real and which aren’t

@lizardgurl I had thoughts like that but the way I dissolve the thought is to think have I ever wanted to properly change genders and was I happy doing so

My ocd feels like a constant questioning. It feels like doubts. They feel quick and awful and like they aren’t coming from me. They’re always lies. It’ll get easier with the help you receive.

What does “real” feel like to yall
I see people post about how they feel like their thoughts are real. For me personally I deal with sexual intrusive thoughts and they feel real to me because it feels like I enjoy them. And when I say “it feels like I like them” that’s the same for me as saying “I like them” but some people say that’s different. Idk just curious as to what you guys feel!

Question
Please how can an intrusive thought be distinguished from our own thoughts ?
