Can obsessions be delusional? They feel so real sometimes I believe them, but I hear most people with OCD know the obsessions aren’t based in reality. I’m so confused by this.

Like if the obsessions feel real then isn’t that not ocd? Don’t people with ocd know logically that the obsessions don’t make sense?

It’s so exhausting. I have harm ocd and it feels so real it feels like I will do Something awful if not now Later…constantly comes back even when it calms down it will try to remind me again to pay attention. I am also in therapy so it’s very frustrating.
