I did some gross compulsions, i do them because i think that if i do them i get rid of thoughts ( cause i don’t want them) that’s why I do compulsions but people do them to check am I a p? I’m terrified I can’t do it. What if im different I don’t think I heard about someone that did compulsions to get rid of thoughts that’s why but to check omg im terrified
I think if you’re disgusted by the thought of pocd, it’s a good sign that you’re not a p. The compulsions are not easy to deal with and I know they are uncontrollable but they don’t define you. Try your best to remind yourself that these are thoughts you disagree with. It sounds like to me that you’re really trying to get rid of them and I think that’s a good sign that you’re not a p. Maybe even write down on paper or in a notes app how much you disagree with these thoughts to help you remind yourself that your pocd is not you.
I know the truth deep down but I am just doing compulsions to try and convince myself that I have OCD. I try to look up and find things exactly the same and me in experiences how I feel and everything else and it becomes worse when I can’t find the same person as me. I know people do compulsions to make sure they love there partner but I feel like I do compulsions to CONVINCE ME it is ocd
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?
Cause I don't have those Extreme cases where I Need to wash myself 100 times, or check things like light, all I have are my thoughts.
