I’ve been dealing with this for a long time. To the point where it’s actual habit more than OCD but some days it’s really bad. I deliver mail and if I’m going through something mentally that day or week, I have to touch, sort, deliver mail in such specific ways and repeatedly until it’s just right so that thought is “equaled out” with the touch. This can happen hundreds even thousands of times a day. I did exposure therapy back in November and it REALLY helped. I do it so much less it’s actually amazing. I catch myself about to touch things then I just say “nah I don’t need to” and I continue with my day. Everyone is different but for me who thought there was NO WAY OUT, I’m surprised and so glad it’s contained

I used to hold 'good' thoughts while doing things. Same as you, when a 'bad' thought appeared I'd redo what I was doing until I get thru with a 'good' thought.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this right now, it can be really hard to sit with the uncertainty of those intrusive thoughts. Just try to remember that they are just thoughts and don’t define you at all. Sending good vibes for you to overcome this

@ballas Don’t turn it into anything just let it be... it’s only a thought, we all have good, bad, crazy, irrational and ridiculous thoughts from time to time. My themes have been POCD, ROCD, religious/moral scrumptiousity and SOOCD 🤦🏾♀️ (nice little cocktail huh?) but I’ve learned to live with the uncertainty of anything that my mind can come up with that doesn’t agree with who I am. A Christian wife with three beautiful children who loves God and all people. God bless you as well, be encouraged!

Ocd thoughts as a newbie
Hi I am Aisha and I am not sure if I have ocd or not but I struggle with thoughts which I don't even know if they r intrusive or if I am thinking about them and they are usually about my family or friends. This time it was about my mom more specifically a sexual thought about my mom and my mind was thinking that this is what I want and when I was analyzing the thought I wasn't sure about my intention which made me feel really bad

Ego-Dystonic Thoughts getting to me
Every night when I get home from work, I have this habit of touching the tree at the end of my street. Tonight I had an intrusive thought/ image of myself laughing at someone getting a serious health diagnosis. It caused my anxiety to increase as that’s so unlike me and I work in a hospital so I’m dealing with health problems on the daily and it’s not funny. My brain basically was telling me I had to go and touch all these trees again to rectify the situation or I can no longer buy items I was wanting to buy (had my eye on a few things to get). I just keep going doing I circles, I know it’s not logical but I can’t help it :(

Obsessive hand washing
I obsess constantly about my hands being dirty and feel like I can actually see the germs and bacteria crawling all over my hands if I can’t wash them as soon as I touch something. It’s really embarrassing since people in my life have noticed this “weird” behavior but it’s a huge problem for me and I don’t know how to make the obsessive thoughts stop.
