Is being diagnosed/aware of the illness in any way comforting or reassuring to you? Regarding the irrational ideas (if you don't mind me asking)
Knowing that it's an actual disorder and not just me being a freak is somewhat helpful, but that's as far as it goes. I can't tell the difference between my own thoughts and the ones caused by the disorder. I tell myself that it's just something my brain does, but that doesn't help. I guess that's the main characteristic, the questioning.
I feel like a horrible person. Apparently it's something common for ocd. But knowing that doesn't make me feel any less like an absolute evil piece of shit.
I guess I can't complain, but sometimes I feel like I have to. Sorry
