does anyone else have mental compulsions? if so, what are they?

Apologizing to God constantly. Googling. Overanalyzing intrusive thoughts to reassure yourself about your true intentions. It varies from person to person. The key is to control them and your ocd will lessen. Hang in there you'll be just fine.

Most of mind are mental. For me, I just argue with myself. Like my TOCD will tell me I want to be a guy and I’ll argue with it, bring up evidence, etc. But that’s never good enough so I will do this for hours. I also check how I feel about feminine vs masculine things, imagine myself as a guy or nonbinary to see how I react, and compare myself to other women to see how I measure up. It’s all mental but it’s time consuming nonetheless. I often have trouble paying attention to anything or when people are talking to me.

Trying to rationalise the irrational thought, using one/two sentences constantly to try and push the thought away, neutralising the thought with a good thought

I constantly argue with myself on whether I am gay or not. I will look and both guys and girls to see how I feel. I will imagine myself with a girl and see if it makes me happy or not. I will argue with myself on. why I might have felt “happy” and how I’ve always loved guys. I will use my surroundings as “signs” to whether I’m gay or not. For example: if my cat walks towards me then I’m not gay and if my cat walks away from me then I’m gay or if I see a rainbow then I’m gay (since rainbow colors are a big thing with the lgbqt community) lol I know those sound odd and I don’t know if anyone else does that but I just make up these little “signs” that god is giving me to let me know whether I’m gay or not.

Na, I do that shit all the time ? Mine is seeing numbers like 444, 555, 333 (which is my favorite number, but has lately made me really anxious. Like something is about to change) It used to be WAY worse though.

Lacy, I get the same way with numbers! I will say something like “21” is now my lucky number and I will try to find that number everywhere to find “good luck” lol and if it doesn’t serve me purpose I have to change the number ??

counting backwards from 10, thinking the opposite of the thought to counter it, asking myself questions in my head and trying to answer them correctly without intrusive thoughts (which generally fails and leads to more intrusive thoughts)

Some of them are mental checking and rationalization, places “bets” with myself, assigning important to things like clothing, colors, numbers. Seeing things as signs.
