A few months before Ebony passed, I had some sessions with a charity theraist and OCD was one thing he helped me with and I told him I kept doing the cutlery in the house in a set order and he encouraged me to try and start doing it in a different order, which I did, few months on from that Ebony became sick and with that charity you only get a limited number of sessions and I've had all the sessions I can have there because they have a lot of demand 
What if cleaning the cutlery in the wrong order really did make Ebony sick and caused her passing?
What if cleaning it all in the wrong order makes Tigger sick? |
That's magical thinking, which is part of OCD (which I also have). It's partly a way to try to have control over uncontrollable things in life, like "If I do this exactly right, nothing bad will happen." When that's not really true--and the same for the opposite, if you do something a different way, it doesn't cause something bad to happen. But it's easy to think that the way our brains work.
Are you currently seeing a T? I can't recall. If so, this would be really good to discuss with them.
