Exactly. The compulsions are so strong that even if you realize you're being irrational or that your behaviors may make a negative outcome more likely, you just can't resist indefinitely. I don't know how to control it, either. Or how we could be trained to do so. I worry about that. So often, I wish people would define things for me. You know, what to do and what not to do. I need clear instructions. But people are loath to provide such.
