Ocd can be just as much about feelings and sensations as it can be about thoughts.

Honestly I sometimes wake up and literally feel like my mind is running through things that could be wrong to focus on. I’ve learned in therapy that anxiety is basically an over supply of the adrenaline/fight or flight response but when that happens and there’s no real danger, OCD creates something to fear. It has helped me to understand some of what’s going on because it makes it easier to accept that it’s happening.

Just go with the flow, focus on something positive that gives you positivity. Don't trigger it

But what you should do is try to let that uncertainty feeling be there. My mistake when this happens is I try to "figure out" the feeling. Its like well Im not thinking about that bad thought anymore but I still feel weird / bad for some reason. Then it starts this whole process "am I depressed" "what if those thoughts werent ocd" "what is wrong with me" "why so i feel this way" This is compulsive rumination a mental ritual. You can do it in response to thoughta or feelings it doesnt matter but you deal with it in the same say. You have to stop the compulsion. I hope that wad relevant advise good luck.
