OCD is caused by a malfunction in your brain. Unfortunately, its not a part you can control and its not the logical part of your brain.

Ali greymond helps.. you have to do erp so vigorously.. after a while logic will return but you have to do erp for a while without no logic on your side. That will come as a gift after erp.

That my friend is one of the most real and true statements I have read on this forum! You can’t argue with OCD, you can’t teach it logic, no matter what you do. Is it me or do you find that it’s like you have to trust your pre OCD self all the while your feelings are completely opposite?

Yea pretty much in false memory you have to become one with your thoughts , your stuck because your thoughts scare you, we have to put our we are a good person deep in our hearts and know that it’s always going to be there that will never leave us.. but it can’t come out during erp and don’t worry it won’t leave you but he has to stay locked up.. know picture yourself coming out with the full armor and saying to your thoughts let’s become one and start agreeing with everything it says,, it sounds crazy but this is the only way out this is erp baby but it’s our life raft back to shore!

Yup I am. In erp my therapist has me imagine the situation and then say maybe that happened and then imagine another situation where I was just sitting in my seat imagining the scary thing happening and saying or maybe not

That’s a soft approach.. maybe or maybe not comes with lots of fear in the background. We need to take all fear out.. I agree with my false memory and I tell the thoughts and I enjoyed it .. it’s scary but it works I put my true feelings to the side and tell them I’ll be back but u can’t come with me.. and I go violently at those lies and I agree with them.

Say I enjoyed that shit and maybe one day I’ll choke another one. Your mind will say your a murderer you deserve to rot in jail. U come back with well I can’t wait in the meantime I might choke another old lady ! Get violent with ocd it wants to throw you around time you throw it around .. ocd gonna be stuck after you come at it with this approach.. but u don’t back off u keep going with this mentality.. after a while you’ll see the benefits of this .. be brave and courageous my sister!

I don't know who I am
I don't know what's real. I don't know who I am, I don't know if everything I believe is made up, all my emotions, my memories..it feels fake, I'm stressed the fuck out because I can't even tell if my past is real

Why Does It Seem So Real?
Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.

I just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
