i sometimes get weird thoughts on my head like the following:
"if you type the word 'car' in this next instant message, you will get aids"
or
"check your watch. if it the minute lands on a '5', you should not walk this route."
I recognize that doing the action has no relationship to the final event. But is this typical of an OCD patient?
From what I've read, an OCD patient might wash their hands repeatedly because they feel their hands will be dirty. The action and relationship are linked.
Mine aren't.
