What are Obsessions?
What is OCD – Obsessions
If you’re plagued by obsessions you have recurring thoughts and impulses that appear to be uncontrollable. You know these thoughts don’t make sense and don’t really want to have them. You find them intrusive and disturbing, especially as they usually occur when you’re intentionally focusing on an activity or idea.
Here’s a rundown of 7 typical obsessions:
1. Fear of dirt or germs
2. Fear of harming oneself or other people
3. Sexually graphic or violent images and ideas that suddenly occur
4. Abnormal focus on moral or religious ideas
5. Fear of not having or missing things you need
6. Symmetry/order (i.e., everything should be lined up perfectly)
7. Superstitions (i.e., too much attention on things regarded as lucky/unlucky)
