If My Thoughts aren't True, Why Do they Feel so True?

The thoughts that run through our heads all day every day are our biased view of things. So why do they feel so real and convincing? Why is it that we so easily find ourselves attaching to, and caught up in the stories in our heads?

[@shardaramcharitar1005]

OCD is terrible one minute you’re normal and then when you get a bad thought 💭 you feel like you lost full control of your mind,it’s the worst feeling ever but somewhere deep deep down you know that’s not me and start to wonder am I gonna be normal again

[@leoneldio4957]

Yeah I'm 16 when I have this and now I'm 22 its so hard

[@ytfanman5076]

Same here. Like the other day, I was feeling great up until I got another bad thought, and it won't go away, now I feel really streesed out. It not only effects my job, it effects my body and life. And deep down I know the thoughts aren't real, but somewhere OCD confince you that it is or put you in a state of uncernity or you're nor completely sure. It sucks. But I'm not giving up. You just have to keep calm and just learn to deal with the uncernity without anaylizing and stessing yourself more by doing that. It's hard sometimes.

[@pault9544]

I have struggled with pure OCD. I know from experience, the more you give into the thoughts and repeat them, the more real they seem. The challenging part, is being able to stop yourself in the act, and deciding not to listen to what your brain is telling you. The less you give the thoughts attention, over time they will start to lose their momentum and the veil of illusion will lift. The thoughts are not you.

OCD (put simply!) involves a misfiring of the amygdala, such that false alarm signals (i.e., irrelevant noise) are experienced as true alarm threats. It feels like there is real danger and that one must respond as dictated by the disorder; however, it is a misinterpretation of threat. Making a active decision to “choose irrelevance” and accept the presence of these thoughts is the most significant step toward recovery...P

[@blessiye7]

But this video was really helpful to me because all my life ive been in my head basically 24/7 for 18 years straight. Never feeling safe, never feeling loved, never feeling like I had any peace.

Or is it HOCD fucking with me badly?? 15 btw I’m terrified if it happens and don’t at all want it to, I’ve loved girls and only girls and 7 month as ago I got HOCD and I’ve been so anxious since. I was laying in bed 7 months ago and I got the thought “what if I’m gay” then I started crying and wanted to die. Now I don’t get as scared or anxious as I did and it makes me scared and more anxious.

I have been falling in trap of false Attraction, groinal responses. I know that I am straight but brain keep telling lies, I sometimes cry my heart out and even tears have faded , how much these r fearfully. I never ever want to be gay I would rather die.

[@huggybear539]

I agree 100% .. I've seen a couple videos where people teach that your thought aren't yours. LoL Of course they are! That's just another way of disregarding responsibility for how you think. If someone has violent thoughts all the time and they keep stuffing them away and ignoring them, when will those thoughts become reality? Your thoughts come from your mind, so they are really your thoughts. If you're always having negative thoughts which influence your emotions and possibly your behavior, you need to find a healthy way to deal with those thoughts and turn them into something positive. Otherwise, you could be getting bogged down by negative emotionally stunting emotions.

[@TinyMaths]

This is the first time I'm hearing this kind of angle on 'being in your head'. For a long time, maybe the past 30 years, I've had people telling me that I 'think too much'. It's probably unintentional but comes across as a clumsy way to be helpful, and can feel quite callous at times, as the commenters seem to assume you can just stop it at the drop of a hat and not be that way. Maybe they are right, I don't know, but it seems to lack understanding. Your explanation about caregivers was interesting. I spent a lot of time in my head as a child and have never made the connection between parents ill-adapted to the affection and reassurance side of parenthood, and my deep-rooted habit of 'being in deep thought' for long periods of time. I've only recently started to see the effects when I'm' at work and go off into the playground of my thoughts for long periods of time ( like a kind of funfair, or happy place I escape to), only to have colleagues ask me if something is wrong, after a while.

And the Angel(Yahoel) said to me(Abraham), "Answer him (Azazel) not!" And he spoke to me a second time. And the angel said," Now whatever he says to you, answer him not, lest his will affect you. Since God gave him the gravity and the will against those who answer him, answer him not. And I did what the angel commanded me. And whatever he said to me about the descent, I did not answer him. Apocalypse of Abraham 14:10-14 This passage reminds me a lot of our disorder, in that the more you try to rationalize, talk to, convince you and/or your voices the more they have you under their control. What you have to remember is not to even entertain a suggestion or and accusatory thought that may come into your head. Ignore it and it will start to lose it's power over you.

[@isobelbriody7770]

I worry that I’m constantly in a dream and those thoughts feel sooooooo real

[@loppylop1673]

Isobel Briody same here. It’s probably because you are feeling derealization (an anxiety symptom), which is what triggered the fear behind the thought of possibly being in a dream. This fear will fuel anxiety and the resurfacing of the thought. Specific fears are very common for people with anxiety. Realize that it is not the thought that’s the problem, but rather the fear that is attached to it. I recommend Claire weeks “hope and help for your nerves” where she goes into depth about OCD thoughts. This woman is not a great therapist...sorry...it’s just word salad with no real substance. The source I mentioned will be much more helpful :) cheers !

I'm not diagnosed with anything but some time ago I became obssesed with existence and thinking this life is all fake and it's so convincing now and then, I spend my whole day avoiding this way of thinking but it's all I think about. i take a look at the sky and panic because how does it make sense? we are on a huge spinning ball in a endless void. did i make this up? is this all fake and just my own illusion or is this real life. I don't know what to do since i can't stop thinking about it and to me it seems very true that this is all fake

[@Melisayilma]

How are you doing now?

[@sleep7270]

A very important question for me about erp is, if I do the erp can I found out that I’ve been in denial my whole life but never known, and if I do the erp can I find out I’m gay/bi even though my whole life I’ve been so sure im straight?? Or is it HOCD fucking with me badly?? 15 btw I’m terrified if it happens and don’t at all want it to, I’ve loved girls and only girls and 7 month as ago I got HOCD and I’ve been so anxious since. I was laying in bed 7 months ago and I got the thought “what if I’m gay” then I started crying and wanted to die. Now I don’t get as scared or anxious as I did and it makes me scared and more anxious.

OCD is bastard..

[@user-hz5gq1qt9l]

I can’t fucking do this anymore. No matter how many articles I read, videos I watch, advice I hear, I still can’t get over my intrusive thoughts. I relate to a lot of people in the comments here, but for the most part, my intrusive thoughts are worse/more severe than anything else I hear about. I can’t tell what’s real anymore. I can’t tell if they are intrusive thoughts or reality. I think I’m going to end it all. I can’t live like this.

[@greenhillsmaster5582]

Don’t do that

I believe I deal with ROCD and I’ve gotten attached to the thought that I don’t love my boyfriend anymore is it true it just a thought I’ve gotten obsessed with?

[@TheDJkarsy]

Mary Cerda ROCD can be so difficult to deal with because often the ROCD derives from actual real life points that make us think those thoughts but largely ROCD is propagated by perhaps our idea of what a relationship should be like and we fool ourselves to think that it doesn’t tick the boxes because we don’t get butterflies in our stomach or whatever but this kind of thinking in turn makes us focus on the negatives and consequently kills the move entirely. I suggest you speak to him openly about your feelings but perhaps try to iron any issues you have towards your partner in a positive open conversation

[@marycerda958]

TheDJkarsy is it normal for me to just not feel nothing after a while?

@@sleep7270 that probably means you’ve accepted these thoughts as thoughts. You’re going the right direction towards recovery. You’ve eliminated their meaning and they don’t scare you as much.

What is OCD ? OCD is the strong painful impulse that tied to every parts of the sufferers' thoughts. These impulse appear involuntarily for thousands times per day. The suffers couldn't stay calm, take a rest, getting concentration ! They get only huge evil pressure, vicious mental exhaustion, being miserably stressful , tremendous confused fearful hopeless mind ! The sufferers live painfully with their unsatisfied mind all day , all week, all month , all year, all time. OCD isn't the preferable habit , mentality, characteristics, and shouldn't be gotten funny mockeries. Psychoanalysis is one best type of its therapies.

I have cheating ocd where i love this guy so much and never would cheat but keep coming up with false memories of me cheating and me thinking “what if i cheated but just forgot” which led me to ask a guy online if i ever sent anything sexual or anything and the guy said no i didnt and yet i still believed i could of i even told my bf and my bf said its ok i trust u wven tho he drive me to the point of doubting myself as he accused me due to his own low self esteem. I would never cheat and know on everything i love i never cheated but me thinking in alternate realities makes me think “what if i did” even when i know for a fact i didnt!

My thoughts say that I am fat and guess what I am. Am I not really fat? I can see and feel the fat all over my body. My thoughts say I have no money and guess what I don't. Thoughts say I dont have a girlfriend and I dont. So, how arent my thoughts true when reality shows that they are?

[@Wra8h]

The problem isn't your thoughts but the its undertone. Clearly, it represents these facts as a negative thing. What isn't real is your fear thar that these thoughts underlie. Not every theme of ocd is completely about things aren't true, for example theres Real Event OCD. At the end, ocd obsess about smthn to a degree that is pathological. I don't know if you have ocd but I wanted to clarify that.

Totally agree. OCD runs in my family. Literally nothing bad happened in my childhood haha. And when people try to convince me it did, all that does is fuel my anxiety to start tricking myself into thinking I have false memories of a good childhood
