So inaccurate. You don't think about it, that's why it's called a "compulsion".

@auro1001 Right. You just do it. But I had to tell it to the audience so they have a real understanding. I hope you now understand.

@soul76can Thank you!! I have been wondering of a very effective medication to treat my OCD

This stuff controlled my life, but the thing that 'cured' me, was changing the rules.

The rule is:

If I put too much effort in performing an action, something bad will happen to me/someone else.

So the actions are 1 sec long max. This really saved me.

@xxtyops Thanks and i wont

@margaretsen Good for you. That's fantastic. Keeping your mind busy on something you enjoy is the key I think.

@xxtyops A hobby is a great release from OCD. I started drawing and I am so involved that I have no OCD. I only notice when I stop my hobby that I was having no thoughts of OCD. I first noticed that I did not think about OCD with my first job as a camera technician that I was so in tune with my framing and technical abilities that I never thought of OCD. It is interesting once you notice that.

I have Obsessive Comulsive Disorder, but I also have cats in my house. So when I use the refigerator, I have to shut the door and check the inside several times to make sure a cat hasn't snuck in. I do this all the time.
