I feel this
With ocd you can’t always tell which just sucks :/
No such things as gut feelings when you’ve got OCD, ocd is a feeling problem… think about it. You have constant anxiety. So best thing you can do is just carry on, do things that make you feel good, if it makes you feel anxious and you don’t know why it’s probably OCD. I just keep going… sometimes I think I don’t want to do things… but realise I do… and feel better when I’ve done it!
Ugh!! But when I do, I feel like I’m being irresponsible and could be missing out on my “truth” or “path”. Like “what if I’m actually gay and I’m lying to my husband and I end up leading him on for 50 years and then end up leaving then?”
I LITERALLY WAS JUST SAYING THIS TO SOMEONE Thought i was losing it
felt this in my bones. i can't tell if it's me talking or the ocd. i can't even tell if this is ocd at this point
I think our OCD causes uncertainty of our identity so our brains have become so desensitized to intrusive thoughts that they now seem like part of us? I don't really know but I 10000% relate. I'm like "wait if this is a gut feeling I shouldn't be ignoring it what if I don't even have ocd" which I think is a veryyy common thought for all of us
thank you for this. it made me feel so much less alone
