No. You do not have to keep doing compulsions because ”your ocd makes sense”. First of all, ocd does not make sense. The key word in your text is ”can”. You said that they actually CAN come true. Yes, they can. But that doesn’t mean that they automatically become reality if you don’t engage in compulsions. You doing compulsions does not prevent your fears from coming true. Depends on what ur particular compulsions are but i’m just saying, you want control through compulsions but you can’t control what’s gonna happen. I am not a professional, just my own thoughts!

@ocdwarrior20 Well yes, washing your hands constantly can reduce the possibility of getting sick (contamination) BUT you saying ”that will make sure that i won’t fall sick” is not true. Even if you keep washing your hands, there still is the possibility of getting sick. Washing your hands as a compulsion does not guarantee that you won’t get sick. Try to think of it that way. Again, correct me if i’m wrong✋

i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?

Does anyone ever feel like you know you have OCD, but at the same time you think it might actually be you connecting to a higher consciousness or vibration that is trying to control your decisions so that the outcome does not turn out bad kind of like the butterfly effect. It drives me crazy because I know I’m conscious that it’s OCD but at the same time I overthink and feel like it might be a higher power trying to warn me that I’m not doing something right, like example; if I flip the trash can lid a couple more times it’s going to pervert something bad from happening and that why I’m sensing I’m not doing it right, because if I spent a little more time there and if I would have left earlier the outcome would’ve been different. Or say I just fight through it and choose to ignore it, but then I’ll carry that negativity/worry of not feeling like I did it right and will project it out into existence because the thought won’t leave my head and in a way your seeking it out into existence since you keep thinking about it, kind of like an affirmation?

With real event OCD, I don’t know if any of you feel this way, but do you ever feel that the past event(s) that you ruminate about or constantly obsess about are gonna come up in your future and just absolutely ruin you, that’s how I’ve been feeling for months, it just feels like impending doom, and I hate having to even think that my future would be ruined by what I did as a teenager, and I did some dumb things, that I regret so deeply, I just can’t stop thinking about that.
