Yessss this is a compulsion, more specifically a mental compulsion. I’ve dealt with the same. I know this sounds hard, but to treat ocd you have to use erp and stop doing this, and accept the uncertainty by saying “yeah, maybe it’s true”. The point is to sit with the anxiety it causes. It’s scary for sure but after a while the fears bothered me much less :)

Is this normal?
Can it feel like you're enjoying the thought in the moment but then later, hours later feel anxious and do a compulsion?

Need Clarity
I recently had a intrusive thought and felt the need to go over it to make sure I didn’t feel anything sexual. Part of the reviewing included creating a scenario similar to the intrusive thought to see if anything was felt. Thankfully no evidence of any feelings. However I can’t seem to find anything on the internet about creating scenarios when checking a previous intrusive thought. Is this common and what is it called has anyone experienced this. I feel very alone. Any feedback would be helpful
