Re: OCD about running into doors/getting hit in the face
My OCD is a different theme but the checking behaviour and thought pattern is identical, if I were to allow myself to indulge them. There are still some small obsessive traits that I have that slip in without me catching them sometimes but I can almost always identify what’s a thought brought on by OCD or an organic one. I don’t know if it’s the same for you but they feel different? Also self doubt is a huge one with OCD, not being able to trust that you did or didn’t do something and therefore the checking comes out to play.
I don’t necessarily have any advice with the particular theme other than trust in yourself because you absolutely would know at the second if you walked into the door or got hit in the face with it. The more we indulge OCD the more power it ultimately has, it takes a lot of patience with yourself and time to sit with things that makes us uncomfortable, for example if you get the thought about a door, instead of going to check it, try rationalising that you are indeed fine and you definitely would of noticed if you hit yourself. I hope your healing continues well.
Positive vibes,
