U R definitely not crazy sweety! I have severe OCD too. Your brain is just stuck. It won't move on. It's called brainlock.

I have a good book called just that "brainlock" I think you might find helpful.

R u seeing a therapist for cbt because they can help a whole lot with behavioural ocd. You would be surprised! It sounds like cbt would work well for your type of ocd. I have both nasty intrusive thoughts and behavioral and I have had it for 30 years so it is a bit harder for me.

Don't lose hope love, there is help out there. R u on medication also, because antiobsessional meds are great!!

Please keep hoping and look for a cognitive therapist.

Let us know how you are getting on.

Everybody on this site are soooo wonderful and caring and know exactly how your feeling and what you r going through! You r definitely NOT alone!!!

Love Cupid
