You aināt ever lied!
Thatās a great question that I wish too I had the answers to. This is what Iāve dealt with for 20+ years. Itās awful and my therapist says āWell theyāre just thoughts, just like hey that plant is green.ā Iām like yeah I wish it was that easy
I relate to this soooo much. Especially when ur doing better and there isnāt anxiety with those suicidal thoughts so u think that they must be real. Itās so hard but I try to remind myself that these intrusive thoughts go against my values and I wouldnāt act on it.
And then⦠you start questioning your values and so you might actually do it??? OCD IS SO TIRING.
We got this tho, your not alone šŖ
Feel the same. Feels real. My intrusive thoughts develop themselves to other places all the time. Itās so hard
Going through this right now !!
How are you guys doing now? š„ŗ
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know itās not true but ā¦.Ā Ā» while I personally donāt « know that itās not trueĀ Ā» I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like itās feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that Iām testing my self in head all the time if thatās what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like Iām been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I donāt have OCD, just that maybe itās me really!!!! How can I know who I am really š„¹???!!??
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
