ocd

are you sure its not your personality type instead of adhd?

 

Never a dull moment in the head reminds me of a Vietnam Vet’s POW story. He had to spend most of his years there in solidarity, nothing at all in his cell. He said he’d spend his time imagining elaborate plans. His example was building his dream house room by room. He used his imagination often during that time. It helped him survive without going stark raving mad.

I think a good imagination is an under rated trait. It has lead to people creating useful and beautiful things for society. And it may very well save a person’s life in a dangerous situation.

 

i have a very vivid and active imagination, my ocd only amplifies my thoughts.

 

well aslong as it helps you i suppose it does not matter, honestly if i could get rid of my ocd i dont think i would, i feel like things would be boring without it.

 

Exactly!

If everyone in the world only knew how to paint beautiful paintings there wouldn’t be anyone like yourself to build the edifices where they can be displayed.

 

exactly, dont be mad about what you dont have, be grateful for what you do have.

 

i would say my worst ocd thing affecting me right now is blasphemy thoughts, i always feel like God is judging me and every wrong thing i do will damn my soul eternally, heck just typing that made me think, what if i will go to hell for typing "damn my soul eternally" like its not like im asking for that by typing it. So yah things like that annoy me a lot.

 

i find the best way to fight ocd and overcome things is by doing what you dont want to, say your ocd is telling you to touch something, dont do it, fight it and it will weaken, over time if you apply this to everything than you will forget you even have it.

 

its possible you have very low levels of ocd

 

Around the time I became addicted to porn I started checking locks a lot. I also had this idea of having to move to the left or to the right of things if I wanted to avoid certain catastrophies. It got really exhausting and thankfully, I eventually realized how pointless it all was.
