Are they really intrusive thoughts when I find myself not knowing and questioning if they really are?

It’s very common for OCD to make you doubt whether something is intrusive or if it’s actually OCD related. Remember OCD is trying to make these thoughts as triggering as possible, so it will use any sort of doubt or reasoning to make you think these thoughts are a bigger deal than they are.
Yes. People without OCD do not interrogate their thoughts or feel anxious about them. It is very common for people with OCD to wonder “is this OCD or am I just in denial” which in itself is an OCD thought as people without OCD don’t think that.
I would also like an answer
I have been ruminating on why I have been having intrusive thoughts on a specific topic. Anyone know why? Where do they come from? It freaks me out and makes me think that it came from a real memory (I struggle with false memory OCD)
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
