confused
I am really confused on why i think the way i do, I seem to have an obsession with numbers, everything i do has to involve numbers and i do tasks based around this. My sets are based around the number 4, 4 sets of 4 make 1 set so on so forth. I get paranoid if i dont follow these that something bad is going to be spread about me which is going to turn people against me. Years ago i used to wash my hands every 2 minutes and feared i was filthy but i managed to get this under control.
I would just like to know how i can manage this and think logically and how to stop the fear of bad things happeneing if i dont stick to the right side of everything and dont follow my sets
Thanks

Just relax, just think of other stuff,a good thoughts. You can do it :) i knw its kinda paranoiad but you can manage it, talK with your friends so your mind focus on other stuff, and always think positive . everything will be okay,just remember that. The number is just a number, dont worry about those things. just try to lesSen to count or focusing in number, do it day by day without thinking a number. it wilL help you and maybe the other day you forgt the number at alL. Just stay strong and believe that you can fight the ocd. :) smile ^_^
Youre welcome. your not crazy. I was like that before but now Im okay, I knw other said the more you fight it, the more it go wth your thoughts, but think that " No one can hurt you or against you because of the Sets " Mybe that sets have special significance for you, it just a number set, dont think that much. i knw its hard to avoid it but try to lessen each day, by doing 3 sets a day and the other day set of two and the next day a set of one, untill you lessen those set and you forgt that anymore :)
