Struggling spending time with family as feel I am a fraud and do not deserve happiness.

Doing all the right things, ignoring, resisting compulsions ... is feeling a fraud in itself an obsessive thought or a bi-product of my normal 'theme'?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I have this a lot too - I don't know if it is an obsession in itself, but to me I've always thought of it as a by-product of my other thoughts. Usually when I've been making a particular effort to resist compulsions, I get an overwhelming sense of guilt/feeling like a fraud, or like I'm lying to people, or don't deserve to be 'better', etc. I feel as though this is OCD resisting recovery, so the best thing to do is continue resisting compulsions anyway! ;)
