I agree but the problem is that these feel so real the thoughts and I understand whatever you said but my brain would still question it and be like oh is that all ? Is that true?! What if its not?!? I read somewhere soocd is projected differently for different people and if I don’t relate to someone’s symptoms i go like oh she or he has that but I don’t so do i not have it at all and i am trying to just run away its like questioning your existence

@Bimmi I guess you’re right… just the uncertainty scares you cause that means it can or it cannot and the can part eats you but when doesn’t you think why it does not its a loop:(

@Bimmi Its like living a hallucination i never thought this would happen to me and I believe that whatever happens will make us stronger but when the thoughts come in and feel so real and then i question the fact that i write they feel so real everytime is it because i want to reassure myself someway i forget how to hold on..

Usually my thoughts go from statements, which I fight all the time, to doubts like “do I” or “i don’t know” but I don’t fight this. I’m not sure if this is progress or it’s the truth. Anyone else feel like this?

I know the solution is to always say “yeah that could be true, but I am choosing to live my life anyway.” However, I feel like my biggest issue is my brain always assuming that it is immediately true when I do that. Like if I say “maybe I’m attracted to teenagers, it’s possible,” then my brain INSTANTLY starts rationalizing that thought and defending it and being like “oh okay so you think this now and it makes sense because xyz, and now that’s who you are and your real desire is now and always will be teenagers.” I feel really alone in this area of feeling like my brain “accepting the thoughts” means my brain immediately accepts them as true. I obviously don’t want to think they’re true but I feel so stuck now.

The things my brain convinces me of are so horrible idk how im going to get through this this time. I feel like I tell my self all the obsessions this episode u don’t even know or you definitely didn’t do but then I just start ruminating on simply the idea of them existing for me to worry abt being enough to keep me in the episode and I can’t even remember them all which doesn’t make sense how I would just forget but ocd makes it make sense yk. Sometimes they feel so real and there is nothing I can do to know and I just want to be happy so bad ik my core values and how I actually feel but it’s just a dark lonely terrifying cloud raining on me all day and night long.
