Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?

I ran into a situation with eyeglasses and when I have pair and have to pick one I would make a pro and con list , especially these days one pair of eyeglasses could easily cost into the hundreds of dollars and would like to make a good thought out decision.

Normally to have a set amount of time to consider options on a given topic more important things could require more than. When the given time is over try to stick with the decision knowing you gave the appropriate amount of time and consideration to the issue at hand and try to move on to something else.

Ohhhh, another OCD thing I do that I didn’t know was OCD. I thought I was just very thorough…and I am, but I guess it’s anxiety driving it…worrying about making the right decision, weighing all the possibilities. Sigh.

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?
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.

Do/did you have this issue? Please help😪
When an intrusive thought comes I can’t just say “that’s not true” and just move on. I always feel like I have to disprove the thought and be able to say it with confidence but the problem is that the ocd doesn’t allow me to feel and say it with confidence so I get stuck for hours or even days. How can I stop feeling like I need to do this?

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.
