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✋

Usually my compulsions are always motivated by fear. I feel like a child when I have compulsions. Like for example, my brain convinces me that someone is in my house and I need to open every cabinet and all the shower curtains, and do tons of other crazy things like march instead of walking so that if someone where to shoot at my legs they'd have less of a chance of hitting me. How do I stop it? I am just going about my day and I can see in my head, myself getting attacked or something and so my only option to calm myself down is to do a bunch of random actions that will keep me "safe". Does anyone else experience this? Or convince themselves that they are under Milo Murphys law? That anything bad that can happen to them will, so they need to never do anything that could result in anything bad, and avoid everything? And how do you convince yourself you're not in danger?

I’ve had this feeling all day that I’m just gonna lose control because I’m not checking how I feel. I had this thought like oh well you wouldn’t be brushing your teeth or eating if you was gonna act on it and then I felt relief for a bit and now I’ve started getting thoughts like what’s the point in cleaning or eating if you’re gonna act on it & now I feel confused?? What’s going on

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?
