      Hey,

      Having an ‘episode’ of OCD type thoughts right now where I’ve seen something on tv about a guy who had problems with his girlfriend and it later turns out he’s wrong and I’m finding ways to relate that to my own life and it’s causing me a great deal of anxious type thinking and feelings that I’m lying to myself that I’m wrong too. I think this has always been my main worry/doubt, that I’ve been lying to myself. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with OCD? It’s been bothering me for so long now. I’m at the point where I’m doubting that I have OCD and I’m in denial, how does one ever know? I have no desire to be different (I mean that’s what I think I’m pretty sure of… – always have that doubt) and I wasn’t always this way. I think I had a thought one day and it never went away as I was so so worked up about it and my brain has had it on repeat for so long. Any help is appreciated. I want to beat this.
