can someone please explain to me what thoughts come with OCD? i'm not too sure if that's what I have or not. I could just be obsessing over something, but i can't seem to make it go away. should I try to think of something else??

i have had a history of anxiety and anxiety attack, but this is the worst i've ever felt.

i've had fears of dying prematurely and dying in my sleep, those have faded but not I have these obsessive thoughts about god.

can someone please tell me if I maybe have OCD?

Do you try and make bets with yourself to make it go away?
Like for example
"(random person) will die if you don't walk to the microwave before it gets to 0"
but you set it really low so you know for a fact you can get to the microwave on time...

Does that sound familiar at all? It can come in a lot of other forms but that was one that I noticed I thought the most.

Usually I try to make myself think of something else, either in a compulsive manner or if I have the balls that day and it's small enough of a thing where I can, I try to ignore the thought. If it's too bad, I substitute it with another compulsion.
