Associations..pls pls help I feel so alone in this
I’ve been EXTREMELY worried recently about associating things/ loved ones/ my own body even with the negative emotions, people, etc that my ocd is currently making me feel like I have to avoid. This is causing me to CONSTANTLY think about these negative things and CONSTANTLY repeat compulsions if the negative thought or the thought of associating the thought with the action/ thing comes into my mind. Like I’ll be doing something as simple as showering and get worried that I’ll associate/ contaminate my own body with the thing/ person that terrifies me. So I’ll have to shower again. Is this normal? How can I stop it?? And will I ever be able to un- associate something with the negativity?
