Ocd can do anything that you don’t want it to. Feelings, thoughts, sensations, urges and the list goes on and on. If you think it’s ocd, it probably is. This is a quote I hear quite often connected to ocd (obvs just change the duck to ocd 🤣) “If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck - it’s probably a duck 🦆”
"Can OCD give us false feelings?" - yes, that's a defining feature of OCD. If you haven't, watch Dr. Peterson's video. "Thoughts are just that, a thought. They are not reality. They are not action."
Soo i need to say this but i struggle with real event ocd but its not things i did but things i thought or things i felt for certain situations or to certain things i like im having trouble telling apart my feelings like i try to sort them like oh this is that feeling but i got the same feeling for two different situations one is good one is bad and i got the same feeling so im just scared why did i have that reaction i guess i just im sitting here analyzing what that feeling is and i genuinely dont know its not anything physical its more in my head and now im checking every moment in the past to see the thought process and what i felt in that moment and im just scared of what i feel
Hi all, I have false memory ocd, harm ocd and pure ocd, I also suffer really badly from intrusive thoughts every single day. I was minding my nephew last weekend and I got an intrusive thought that I’m ashamed off, I’m now worried that I acted on that intrusive thought and just can’t remember, there’s also a false memory image in my head of me acting on the thought which I’m scared is actually a memory even though deep down I know I didn’t act on it. I’m worried though that the fact I even had this thought in the first place means I’m inherently a bad person who would act on these thoughts. My stomach is sick with the worry I may have acted on it and can’t Remember, anyone else ever have something like this? I start meds and therapy next week so hoping that helps
Can ocd convince you momentarily you want your intrusive thoughts only to snap out of it
