Do OCD thoughts generally involve worst-case scenarios? My thoughts are incredibly extreme even if a real life or fictional situation doesn't always happen in real life. Real life tends to be more mundane yet the thoughts say the details should indeed matter. But the details or whatever is worrying me is usually for whatever reason a worse case scenario. Is that common among OCD sufferers?

Hugs (((((( Lik3 ))))))
  In my experience the OCD is a way of trying to keep those intrusive thoughts at bay. It makes you feel safer to carry on a pattern that feels like it is helping but then it can get out of hand. Are you seeing a therapist to help with this?

Sorry I can't be of more help, my OCD was more ritualistic.
