Anyone struggle with that

Do anyone here struggle with those type of obsessions like you did something that was fine and not weird at all and your brain is like what if people think the opposite of my intentions like I intended to do something weird in the first place so I'll be doing 'just in case compulsions' like I know I did nothing wrong but what if ppl think I did Idk if it makes sense but to ppl who does have these thoughts what do you tell yourself/what NERs do you use to not do the compulsions

I definitely struggle with this too. It can be so difficult, can’t it? After going through therapy I learned to sit with the uncertainty and incorporate mindfulness so I can create space for myself so I don’t automatically do the compulsions. It does take time though, so be patient and understanding with yourself. If you need help with it I highly recommend contacting NOCD to book a consultation. It helped me tremendously!

Sorry you are struggling with this, I do as well. I find accepting uncertainty and possibility to be the most effective NERs for me. Difficult and scary to do because it feels like giving life to the fear but in my experience the most effective at getting out of the loop. Examples I found helpful https://iocdf.org/expert-opinions/how-do-i-stop-thinking-about-this-what-to-do-when-youre-stuck-playing-mental-ping-pong/

Does anyone have the same thoughts?

Does anyone have harm OCD related to recent events? Like events that just happened or happened not long ago? I feel like my OCD is trying to find something bad/immoral I could have done in nearly every situation that I am experiencing, for example “Did you just do that?”. And I constantly want to check, ask people for reassurance, try to find a logic answer by going it though in my head,… It’s many different themes but all related to doing sth bad/immoral (e.g., touching someone inappropriately, pushing someone in front of a vehicle, putting something in a drink/food). Does anyone have the same? Or the other thing that I experienced recently is that I did something (a rather unimportant action, not harming anyone) and I go over and over it and ask myself “why did you do that? What does that say about you? Are you actually a weird person?” It feels like I draw “false conclusions” from a real event… I don’t know if that’s OCD though or not. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Good luck to you all! We’re not alone in this! 😊

Advice?

His so I have a question. Should I feel guilty for things I do like without thinking or naturally. Like for example if I’m around a person I find attractive I will naturally try to be funny or come off as attractive not in a bad way like it just happens I’m not usually aware of it until after it happens.Sometimes I do and say things without an intention it just kinda happens and then My brain after it will Be like oh you did that because of this and that. Or sometimes it’ll tell me I did it for a certain intention that I didn’t do it for, but it’s hard sometimes when I do things without a certain intention so then I can’t tell my intentions and I spiral but sometimes my brain is right and it makes me feel guilty because if I knew that’s was my intention I never would have done it if that makes sense. Is this part of OCD

Is it in my head

I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know
