Thoughts controlling me

[phil06]

Anybody else have this issue? I get a thought and it seems real or I let the thought dictate my life like my fears of flying I refuse to fly right now and I get a thought about ocd to change my towel, change clothes and I do it as believe the thought like it’s a fact. I dismiss millions of thoughts but some I can’t and I feel I have little control over my mind it worries me that I can think anything and believe it

It is called OCD Phil


Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), and behaviors that drive them to do something over and over (compulsions). Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts.

I have ocd and have been avoiding some hotels in stayed in years ago due to blocking the toilet I fear going back will get germs on my suitcase.

Also if I buy something new and take it upstairs I worry it’s instantly dirty.

I have situations where something has been “forever contaminated” and nothing can change my thinking cleaning stuff isn’t enough?

What’s your question?

I am terrible at avoiding things. When I realise what I’m doing I often try to fight it. Do you ever do that?
