I think this is an urge - basically I have an intrusive thought that I’m XYZ. I don’t want to be XYZ, because it I was, it would mean all these things that cause me great distress/anxiety. However I can’t stop thinking that I’m XYZ and my mind constantly tells me I must be XYZ. To combat that I get the urge to seek reassurance and to ruminate in an effort to make me feel less anxious. At least I think that’s how it works :(

@Someone99 i don’t recall any urge or impulse it just happened. could it be one of those things were bc u really don’t want to do something u end up doing it. like how i ddint want to look but i somehow ended up looking? bc i was so worried i would? if i had an urge or impulse wouldn’t i remember it? wouldn’t it be clear taht i somehow couldn’t resist this thing and did it?

Basically a urge is the feeling of instantly doing something,in case of OCD most of the times it fits onto a compulsion
