I am writing here again, just to see if someone might have anything to say.
I have a form of ocd where "bad" thoughts pop up in my brain, and these thoughts usually are about harm coming to people I know and even random strangers. What my anxiety makes me do is to do rituals in order to undo the thought and prevent further contamination by/ spread of that thought (if this contamination and spreading of thought makes sense).
The ritual is to touch water to prevent that "bad" thought from happening and preventing contamination.
So , this to me seems a form of magical thinking in ocd.
How should I tackle this? What is the approach to these "bad thoughts" and the need to undo them?
