Does anyone else feel like a fraud or like they are faking their ocd when they don’t share a symptom with someone else? I’ve seen people say they have a hard time falling asleep because of racing thoughts, and I used to aswell, but I don’t anymore. And that makes me scared that I’m faking.

I can’t even explain how happy I am I found this. I always think I am faking all my mental health. Like if I don’t do a compulsion I will be like I’m such a fraud I just want attention. Same with everything else in life I think everything I do I’m lying or something but I feel so bad it sucks.

Started doing ERP for false memory and the thoughts of I maybe it’s not OCD and I’m just a bad person keep overwhelming me. It’s so difficult. Sometimes I can’t even cry because I feel so numb/tired.

Yes. Me, everytime I think of going to a therapist, i fall down on thoughts that Im faking it and I am just a horrible person, husband etc.
