I replied to your previous post but ill reply to this too. You don't actually control your brain. That would be exhausting to have to be in charge of EVERYTHING your brain does ( breathing, nervous system, organs, body regulation) so no, you don't control your brain, it works on auto pilot, and you dont control your thoughts either. The average person 60,000 thoughts a day.... yep. But i bet you could't write down 500 at the end of the day. People who dont have OCD just dont pay attention to the thoughts they dont think are relevant or important. People WITH OCD have a brain blood dysregulation that causes us to pay attention to EVERY SINGLE THOGHT WE HAVE and if its one that we dont think is "good" we LABLE it "intrusive". Your thoughts are a apart of you but they do not make up WHO you are. to defeat OCD you will have to learn to stop trying to figure out the good the bad, the black the white, adn accept that thoughts are just thoughts and its your choice which ones get your attention and which ones you are going to CHOSE to ignore EVEN if they are screaming in your ear to be acknowledged.

The human brain has limited capacity for storing memories. Periodically, it employs a process akin to a computer's "Garbage Collection," identifying old or irrelevant memories and presenting them for review to determine if they can be safely discarded. While non-OCD individuals can easily dismiss these memories, those with OCD become indecisive. As the brain urgently seeks to recycle these areas, it repeatedly presents these memories, causing discomfort akin to the pain experienced when something is wrong with our body. This cycle perpetuates itself. Those thoughts not yours, or define you..
