Why Does It Feel Like Denial?
This theme always feels like I am in denial and that I am somehow using OCD as an excuse. Especially, when I get intrusive thoughts and I don't feel any anxiety.

I am currently going through this as well I was just telling myself " what if all this is me and I'm using ocd as a crutch " " what if everything I'm thinking I did is true" my therapist says that ocd is sneaky like what you said
@Anonymous Yea I’ve been told by my OCD therapist the same thing & It’s frustrating how I can’t just stick with what a professional tells me
I had something similar with gender identity ocd. It felt SO real, like my entire journey growing up was somehow false and that I was secretly a woman and in denial. Compulsions galore, anxiety. I felt like I was in denial too but eventually it went away. Lean into what is
Yeah that's how I feel, and my memories are like never ending prove, if I manage to prove one wrong, a different one will show up, but there's one I never manage to prove wrong, so that one must be the real one
I understand but it’s OCD
@Anonymous hey anonymous, thanks for your reply. OCD is very sneaky. I hate it
I get it somedays you might not feel anxiety sometimes you do in going through that right now your not alone
