Compulsion’s
I’m wondering with OCD is there sometimes no compulsions with doing or hearing something that’s triggering?

Compulsions can be super sneaky so sometimes it seems like we aren’t doing a compulsion when we really are. The YouTube channel Anxiety and OCD just made a video on this if you want to check that out!
@Keepongoing I deff do who’s the person tha makes the video?
@The names Adelbert His name is Nathan the channel is called “Ocd and Anxiety” on YouTube
I feel like a compulsion can be as simple as just being uncomfortable and triggered, but idk if thats how it is, but it happens to me a lot
@Anonymous I see, to me that’s what happened and I guess it made me Google some things and then spiral a bit more rather than help me.
Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions
So maybe the title wasn't the best to to put it but when you guys start having obsessive thoughts how do you stop them before it turns into compulsions and anxiety?
