I think it's pretty common to be afraid they are real Just answer to your thoughts "maybe, maybe not" don't try to look for answers You'll get through this❤

Hey friend. I can definitely relate to OCD trying to convince me of the same thing when I am unsure if I did something wrong or not, like I'll rationally be able to see exactly why I did nothing wrong at all, but my OCD will combat whats rational and show me irrational reasons why it was wrong. It may not be "exactly" the same, but it is the same way of obsessing. You're definitely not the only one, but like bluesapphire said, don't look for answers because that'll only feed into your OCD more and it'll make the obsession worse. I look for answers a lot too, and every time I do it just makes it worse. So, hopefully we can both work on breaking out of that way of thinking and instead just learn to be content with the uncertainty of what it is we're obsessing over. It's easier said than done, but I think it'll be well worth it for both of us in the long run. :) I hope you're having a nice day Just Breathe. :) how is work going today?

I'm sorry friend. :( I have a hard time concentrating while I'm working a lot too, especially when it's too quiet. Maybe it will help if you listen to some music while you work, like that song "Until Grace" by Tauren Wells & Rascal Flatts. Are you allowed to listen to music at work?

@Just Breathe ❤️ Yeah, me neither, but only because I work with someone else and I don't like ear buds because they always fall out of my ears.

It’s so scary because it feels real
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??

Wanted or unwanted thoughts?
Help! My OCD has caught onto this thought for awhile and I keep spinning on it. I know you are supposed to follow your values and what your actions suggest with OCD, but what if that is even blurry right know? For example my whole life I wanted to be with a man, and now my OCD is having major intrusive thoughts about women. How do you tell if those thoughts are wanted or not? I can’t figure out if I like the thoughts or not. I’m trying to live the life “I want” but what if I don’t know what that is?

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
