Just remember that OCDs total goal is to keep your thoughts images and feelings at the forefront of your mind and thinking. It is sneaky, one thing that helps me is I ask myself,”OK, is this a way that OCD can get me to ruminate or do a compulsions?” It will give you anxiety, it will not give you anxiety, it will give you a sense that something is off and no matter how hard you try to figure out you can’t figure it out.

@Imaan7 I can’t tell anymore either. It feels like reality now. I’m convinced I’m just too afraid to let go. And none of it makes me anxious anymore

@Imaan7 Like I go a while without having a thought and then it comes back.

I know the truth but I’m just doing compulsions….
I know the truth deep down but I am just doing compulsions to try and convince myself that I have OCD. I try to look up and find things exactly the same and me in experiences how I feel and everything else and it becomes worse when I can’t find the same person as me. I know people do compulsions to make sure they love there partner but I feel like I do compulsions to CONVINCE ME it is ocd

Is it supposed to feel so real ?
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know it’s not true but …. » while I personally don’t « know that it’s not true » I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it

OCD 'feeling real'
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
