Just ask your question. We don't need your blog about your journey of self discovery and all that crap.

what are your thoughts on what OCD really is? is it all fake? what does really happen inside the mind of the people who say they have it?

I'm having the suspicion that OCD isn't really a disease, but a capability to perceive things as they are, but since other people expect you to ignore all the little details in life to "be productive and social", you have to treat your higher capability to perceive patterns in life as if it was a disease and not your brain showing you what reality really is about

what i mean is: i think OCD isn't a disease, it's just your brain showing you the patterns on reality as they really exist, but you have to force yourself to be dumb because society asks you to do so and to feel like you're impaired and not gifted

It's real and it actively makes you dumber in my experience. Of course, there could be different kinds. Or maybe what you think of as OCD isn't real OCD which is in fact painful and debilitating.

why do you think it's real? are you aware that the people who promote it as a real illness actively asks you, the patient, to not ever think about it not being a dissease or a disability of some kind? what kind of scientifical thought is the one that asks you to blindly believe in it?

>what are your thoughts on what OCD really is?
common through all individuals I've enountered is some kind of failure to be able to rationalise percieved threats against the threat's real, demonstrable consequences.
>is it all fake?
not in the sense that someone who suffers from OCD could simply stop behaving disorderly if they desired to, no
>what does really happen inside the mind of the people who say they have it?
root cause differs greatly between individuals, though I see commonalities relating to childhood trauma, heightened sense of self, nacissism, extreme fear of mortality, maladaptive daydreaming and a lack of trust in one's own ability to trust their own perception or memory.

>It's real and it actively makes you dumber in my experience
we all have a limited amount of time and energy, individuals suffering from severe OCD dedicate the vast majority of their time and energy either obsessing over patterns of behaviour that provide no real benefit to their personal development, or pursuing avoidant behaviour which allows them to ignore stressful obsessive patterns of behaviour. I could not agree more that it actively makes you dumber and wastes your potential. All that time and energy wasted instead of using it for something that could increase your effective value to yourself and society.

What I had really did feel like a disease. I didn't need anybody to coach me to feel that way. It was the opposite really since I essentially got it from a pharma drug (paroxetine) although there were some elements of it already there, they ended up getting amplified tremendously.

OCD isn't like that, it's more like controlling every single thing you do like you're the Big Brother and a victim of the Big Brother at the same time
