Iāve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesnāt mean itās true or that it defines me. Iāve started learning how to see OCD for what it isājust a disorder trying to trick meāand Iāve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?

Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know itās ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it wonāt bother me but other times I really really donāt know. Itās when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing theyāre something theyāre not or something that doesnāt align with my true morals or intentions. But since itās twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I canāt trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I donāt have ocd at all and Iām just in denial because I donāt want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe thatās just the ocd talking.

I think it's important to be able to make fun of yourself and joke about these things, so, just for fun, what's the silliness obsession you've had? Here's mine: when I was six I convinced myself that my overdue library books would create a butterfly effect that would end the world
