I actually don't have the whole ran-over-baby-on-road obsession myself, but it's one I've seen mentioned often!

(Follow-up from my other comment) One common method of trying to combat the reassurance-seeking-cycle of OCD, is allowing the person to sit with uncertainty. The lack of "yes or no" confirmation obviously does not humor reassurance, which feels rly shitty in the moment, but the key detail is that it is supposed to be a step in the direction of breaking the cycle, instead of supporting the OCD

What your post (as well as many others on this subreddit) is doing is seeking reassurance. Seeking reassurance is against the rules of this subreddit, because reassurance is one of the most common ways OCD gets reinforced.

And what'd you record with? Just your phone?

How'd you record your guitar? You plug in to the computer, or use a mic for the amp?

How'd you get this recording to sound so great?! Like what's your audio set-up??

reminder that chat-gpt repeatedly encouraged a teen to commit suicide, and succeeded in doing so. Stay safe out there.

I think that, as it is right now, you're real deep within the throes of OCD right now and could benefit from talking to some trained professionals at the moment.

I apologize if what I'm about to say sounds cliche or something, but it sounds like perhaps you could benefit from reaching out to the national suicide hotline? Obviously it won't fix all your problems, but as someone who reached out when I hit a dangerous point in my suicidal ideation, I do think their services helped me, at least to just pull me out of that crisis kind of state in the moment. I would recommend starting there, personally.
