O.C.D
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition in which you have frequent unwanted thoughts that cause you to perform repetitive behaviors. ocd is comprised of two components – obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwanted thoughts, images, and urges that cause an individual anxiety, disgust, and/or distress. In an effort to alleviate the discomfort, the person will engage in compulsions, which are physical or mental behaviors that may or may not be repetitive, as well as avoidance of triggers, all of which provide short-term relief but ultimately perpetuate the OCD cycle. The level of insight a person has about their disorder ranges, with some recognizing that their obsessionals are illogical and have no direct relationship with their compulsions, while others struggle to detangle the two. This is more likely to occur the longer someone has suffered without treatment. It’s important to understand that OCD is extremely creative and knows no bounds when invading a person’s life that a person’s individual themes are often directly linked with what they value most in life, which is why the obsessions are especially distressing to them. Although compulsions are in response to the distress caused by obsessions, there is not always direct logic connecting the two. In some cases, the compulsions “make sense,” such as excessive washing in response to contamination obsessions; however, others have no clear relationship, such as tapping a table four times to keep a loved one safe.
Among the most common compulsions are avoidance, checking/reviewing, reassurance-seeking, decontaminating, repeating, rewriting, confessing, trying to “figure it out,” thinking/saying a safe word/phrase, and ordering/arranging. Individuals with OCD do not want to be doing compulsions, but their fears and anxiety about the consequences of not performing them are so great that the temporary relief offered feels worthy of the problems the compulsions cause.

In OCD, obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts or mental images that cause intense anxiety. People with OCD can’t control these thoughts. Most people with OCD realize that these thoughts are illogical or irrational. For examples:
Fear of coming into contact with perceived contaminated substances, such as germs or dirt.
Fear of causing harm to yourself or someone else because you’re not careful enough or you’re going to act on a violent impulse.
Unwanted thoughts or mental images related to sex.
Fear of making a mistake.
Excessive concern with morality (“right or wrong”).
Feelings of doubt or disgust.
Excessive concern with your sexual orientation or gender identity.
Need for order, neatness, symmetry or perfection.
Need for constant reassurance.
In OCD, compulsions are repetitive actions that you feel like you have to do to ease or get rid of the obsessions.
People with OCD don’t want to perform these compulsive behaviors and don’t get pleasure from them. But they feel like they have to perform them or their anxiety will get worse. Compulsions only help temporarily, though. The obsessions soon come back, triggering a return to the compulsions.
Compulsions are time-consuming and get in the way of important activities that you value. They don’t have to match the content of your obsessions. For Examples:
Arranging things in a very specific way, such as items on your dresser.
Collecting or hoarding items that have no personal or financial value.
Repeatedly checking things, such as locks, switches and doors.
Constantly checking that you haven’t caused someone harm.
Constantly seeking reassurance.
Rituals related to numbers, such as counting, doing a task a specific amount of times, or excessively preferring or avoiding certain numbers.
Saying certain words or prayers while doing unrelated tasks.
Compulsions can also include avoiding situations that trigger obsessions. One example is refusing to shake hands or touch objects that other people touch a lot, like doorknobs
