OCD and logical conclusions
So I heard in a dr k stream with “nocd”that ocd thought patterns or anxieties brought about by ocd cannot be solved through logical conclusions. First off I am not diagnosed with ocd, but I have noticed I have an alarmingly large amount of common anxieties and thought patterns that people with ocd have. Except no one in my life would really know. It’s all really internal. But I am not very ritualistic. And my ocd anxieties seem more realistic than what some other people describe, in my humble opinion lol. Like it’s plausible I left my straightener on or that I am the only consciousness in the universe. I truly don’t know. I do reenter my home each time I leave just to check a few things that could cause a fire. And I have had the thought that maybe I do have ocd but it’s balanced by me getting bored which is similar to something that guy from the stream said. Plus the doubt. But at the same time I have the best arguments against doubt. But it’s possible I don’t have ocd.
But in the event that I do have ocd I think I actually can stop certain anxieties I have through logical conclusions and that’s for me the most effective way. I just want to learn so much more on this topic. What goes on in a brain with ocd? How come some people feel relief counting or something when that wouldn’t not work for me? Are there potentially many different types that we may not be advanced enough to know yet? I want to know all that people in the future might know as well.
