That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
Very common between people with OCD
yes. but then i think about, "okay even if the worry im having or issue im dealing with is legitimate, the way I cant stop thinking about it and have the "I need to solve this problem" thing is OCD.
@Anonymous That’s a good point
Yeah I’ve had the obsession of ‘what if I’m the exception and I’ve been misdiagnosed or I’ve fooled everyone and myself into believing I have ocd when really I’m just in denial of being a terrible person”
@Nelly882 Pretty much but I guess that’s just the OCD
Yeah I definitely do that. With the numbness I feel on top of this it’s hard to tell. And I’m not officially diagnosed atm so I just worry I’m faking and my thoughts are real
@LiaExe28 Sameeeee!! It’s so frustrating.
I don’t want to give you reassurance so I’ll just say, your question is your answer… a very ocd thing to ask 😭 I did that with my ocd therapist once and she’s like “exactly” the basis of questioning it and doubting things, doubting yourself and others, feeling unsure about it is almost like extra proof 😭😭😭
@Tea I wasn’t even realize that my question was even rlly asking for reassurance but looking back I guess it kinda was. My bad
@Secretidentity It wasn’t really, I was just unsure if telling you that the question you’re asking literally confirms that you have ocd, I didn’t know if that would be considered reassurance
@Tea Oh I see now. No that wouldn’t be reassuring it was more asking if other people feel that way
I feel the same but then I tell myself I wasn’t like this before just trauma of ocd from my bad episode
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! OCD will pull out all the stops and make you doubt everything!!!! This one has hit me a little through the years and took me awhile to not entertain the thoughts and just respond maybe it is maybe it’s not, I’m not going to try and figure it out! Doesn’t matter if it is or isn’t, don’t chase the thoughts bc remember they are just thoughts and they come from many different places.
I actually needed help with this. I have not even been medically diagnosed which scares me as I wonder if this is a blanket to cover me being in denial- I think I have so-ocd and my behaviours and obsessions align with those suffering from it so I concluded that it was my condition too- being not straight doesn't align with me, and it's been a little over a month since these thoughts started. November was traumatizing for me,but yesterday I watched some coming out videos as erp and I did not feel a thing. It was listed as an important video for erp for the sufferers of this theme but it did not affect me much. I should have been uncomfortable but I wasn't I don't know now if I have ocd or not.
@Anonymous That’s how September was for me. My thoughts really just terrified me. I have a post about it. And I sat on the uncomfortable thoughts for months. Until late November I finally decided to make an appointment and see if my suspicions of ocd were true. I did get diagnosed but I just doubt and doubt.
Yes
Same. 😭 (I’m doing it right now too lol) I’ve gone to the doctor after someone thought I could have OCD & they kind of confused me. The doctor would say “I highly believe you have OCD) then I asked her if I had OCD (after all this is the whole reason I made the appointment) and she’s like “ well seems like it” and continued on. That just made me question if I have I truly have it or am I just using OCD for my bad thoughts. 💭
@dianitaaa I completely understand that. I do have a diagnosis but when I question it I try to expose myself to it and say maybe I do maybe I don’t and it makes me sooooo uncomfortable but I know if I persist eventually I won’t have as much anxiety over it
Does anyone else have problems of doubting what if it’s not ocd and what if and I actually want this if so what do I tell it when it does ??
Does anyone on here ever wonder if the thoughts are really ocd,or am I really twisted,or do people with ocd ever act on their thoughts?im trying to get the concept that the thoughts aren’t true through my head.
