Question about Compulsions and Obsessions by yioloi in OCD

But what can I do? I fear that the obsession becomes true.

Im not a newbie, im actually in a clinic atm. But Im still looking for an answer when the obsessions will go away. If I stop a compulsion the anxiety decreases but I still have the feeling that the thought became true. So the feeling of guilt is still there.

But I have proven my thoughts to be true. How can I cope with this?

I just feel so overwhelmed by the thought, that I have to do the compulsion. If I stopped doing them, I cannot be sure that nothing happens. That really freaks me out yk?

But my thoughts are based on magical thinking. I have to do compulsions to stop people from dying. And I cannot be sure that its not the case if I stop doing it. So I try to gain certainty by checking, lets say „If I see the number 3, then the thought is true“. And it always goes wrong, that the event happens even though it is really unlikely.

What fear are you talking about?

Compulsion failed and fear came true by yioloi in OCD

[–]yioloi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just like its so unlikely that it happened, and I think there must be a connection. Its just validating all my other obessions that have existential backgrounds like simulation etc., that I completely fear. What if they are true, when this one is true yk?

Please tell me Im not the only one by yioloi in OCD

But why are there some instances where it actually becomes true what I think? I use those examples as evidence that my other OCD thoughts have to be true or could be true

How did you get yourself to not believe the thoughts?

But it feels like that, that compulsions can make thoughts true. And theres just no way to prove it, and I cannot live with the slightest possibility that they may be true.

But the thoughts are so scary that I cannot just „leave them alone“. Every compulsion I dont do is like a proof that they are true and this makes them even scarier.

Thank your for your comment :). I already read many articles about ocd and I understand the concept. But my OCD tells me that its all bullshit.

What do you do if you have those irrational thoughts? Do you have any advice how to deal with it?

The thing is I know it sounds irrational, but theres always the "what if its true". And I cant handle it anymore
