Absolutely. That’s what OCD is! The doubting disease.

I have spent my entire adult life living with pocd and not knowing what it was until a few years ago and I genuinely thought my thoughts were what I was and that I wanted to do the things I think about - turns out it is an illness and I am not my thoughts and I am not my OCD and today it is easier. It also helps that my wife is someone who I can share absolutely honestly with and all I’m met with is love and no judgement, it helps remove the power that the OCD has over my mind. When it first stated I thought I was sharing in confidence but it was used as a weapon against me every time I fell out with my ex, it broke me and took away any self esteem I had - only share with people who you absolutely trust. This APP is one of those places.

Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?

With ocd can the thoughts themselves feel entirely true???? Or is it just the narrative around the thought that feels true/real?

I was scrolling on insta and I saw a post of a kid, I felt a sense of attraction, idk if it was false or not. I hope it was, I got worried and the kid kept popping up in my head, I kept trying to stop it because I can’t stand not doing anything and feeling attracted, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, im fucking tired of having to deal with all of this every day. I can’t tell if it is real or false attraction, all of this is so annoying, I can’t even listen to music properly without feelings of attraction showing up. I’m not able to tell if it’s false attraction or not anymore at all, it feels way to real to know, I keep hoping that it’s all false, and I hope that I have pocd not actual pedophilia because I was never disgnosed, I was also exposed to porn at a young age, and I’m worried it causes pedophilia. Please help me with these attraction feelings I can’t tell if they’re real or not anymore. I can’t even tell if I’m distressed, panicked, disgusted, or shamed. I don’t feel any of those feelings anymore, idk why, idk how to deal with this stuff anymore, I don’t even know if I have ocd or not, I’ve only ever gotten one short diagnoses that said I have ocd but I lied on 2 questions about feeling arousal which I do, idk why, and the other about liking the thoughts, which I said I didn’t, but in reality I don’t know if I do or not. Also only certain kids trigger the attraction feeling, it makes me worried I’m a pedo because it’s only certain kids that cause it, kind of like a “type” (edited)
