Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Just trying to function and have a "normal" life although ocd makes this quite difficult. I find the obsessions to be so much harder to deal with than the compulsions, although both are bad.

i was wondering if anyone is tormented by violent thoughts? i am all the time, i don't want to get into too much detail but they are pretty terrible thoughts. and a HUGE problem of mine is that these thoughts tell me that i have done these terrible things and because i have such a poor sense of completed actions, meaning i always doubt what i have or haven't done, i start believing these thoughts and have trouble separating between reality and what's in my head. that's why i think the obsessions are worse than the compulsions. i also obsess a lot over having terrible illnesses.

As for compulsions does anyone ever obsess over shutting things off like the stove for example? many times i have to take pictures of things just so i have something visual to combat these thoughts.

all kinds of food, the yankees, museums, slapstick comedy, learning how to cook, concerts, the simpsons

heights, spiders, public speaking, needles, worrying about disease, being limited in the things i do because of anxiety/ocd

almost every genre there is
(i wish that our lives had background music just like the movies do)

The House of the Seven Gables, Girl With a Pearl Earring

Pan's Labyrinth, Braveheart, Signs, Steel Magnolias, Napoleon Dynamite, The Sixth Sense, North by Northwest
