Let’s see if anyone in here can relate to this weirdness bc for once I’m not gonna whine about my Harm OCD but my OCD about ”pure thoughts”.. this was something that developed when going through hardships when I was 19, in 2009, I started forming ”pure” words in my head that I had to think of constantly, otherwise something bad would happen, so I had a long line of ”pure words” that replayed in my head (no lie) 24/7 and in the beginning it was very exhausting to remember all the words, and I didn’t know what my brain was doing so I was very confused, but I still have it to this day, and the line of words has only gotten longer and longer and changed a lot over the years but the theme is always there and I think these pure words from I wake up to when I go to sleep, if I think a dirty/wrong word in the middle of a routine (like dressing or showering) I have to do it again with a pure word in my head, nowadays I only do it out of reflex and I have completely forgot how it was to just think normally, bc this is so well established in my life right now, its not exhausting anymore, it’s just like a part of me.
