I do the same thing, although not exactly with the fear of lying (not especially, but yes, that is a problem for me) but with the fear I am [insert my worst fear] and so I'll think like this: "It's just my OCD" and then "...but what if?" and so it loops; this tells me you're either a on a mission to fool all of PC, or, more realistically, logically, and rationally, you simply have OCD. :P
I'm definitely not on a mission to fool all of PC. I would never actually fake my symptoms. I'm "sure" I wouldn't lie but at the same time I can't stop wondering if I've got some sort of Münchhausen's or something. It seems like I'm the only one who doesn't see that there's pretty much no way I could be faking.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. It's quite draining, don't you think?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how are you supposed to know which thoughts are caused by OCD and which thoughts aren't?
Thanks for this!
