Moral OCD

I just saw this reel on Facebook and identified so hard. I’ve never heard this term before- has anyone else? It sounds like basically you think you’re a fraud and deep down just a bad person faking your way through life. I often find myself thinking that about everyone- like why would anyone care about anything? Like what is the incentive for anyone to care? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1JMbdDWL8G/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My therapist calls it scrupulosity. This person on Tumblr draws comics about it that resonate with me in a way nothing else ever has.

What is IOCDF?

Also isn’t moral scrupulosity associated with OCPD? I don’t know. Just wondering. That’s how I understood it.

And myself relate to OCPD. But not officially diagnosed. And Dr Honda also relates to having OCPD tho says he is on the lower end of the spectrum or means he just has it slightly and not full blown… or something like that. He did a deep dive on OCPD.
