is there a chance you just don't have physical compulsions? ruminating, stopping your thoughts, saying specific phrases to neutralize or 'get rid' of the thoughts are all just some types of mental compulsions. they can be hard to pinpoint since they're not physical.

@Anonymous honestly, even trying to figure out why you don't have compulsions could be a compulsion! it's so tricky. that's how ocd keeps us in these loops, especially with pure o. sorry i can't be of more help

This is how I have been feeling for awhile now. Makes it so hard for erp. Basically just get intrusive thoughts/feelings that constantly come. I’m pretty sure though my compulsions are constant emotional checking meaning I keep checking to see how I react to the thoughts… If I am feeling “better” “worse” “happier” etc than previous waves or even someone who doesn’t have this. The thing that sucks is this “checking” happens more or less unconsciously/in tandem with thoughts/feelings. Like if the compulsions just “come” how they heck do I do erp? I guess just accept abs move on 🤷🏻♂️

OCD
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩
