It's all diagnosed before you bring up that it's fake.
I'd link the song but it's got swear words in it. |

So?
You want to see the Harlem shake? This is what I recommend. Toss a flash bang in a room full of epileptic kids. |

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Also I don't mean word for word but the idea that bad things will happen if I don't repeat actions. |

"do you get a lot of intrusive thoughts"
Yep I basically have to almost burn my hands everytime I was them so I have a visual reminder that I've washed them or I simply have to do it again.
Even then I have constant thoughts that I've left the tap on even when I know I turned it off. |

I sometimes do things like that.
Typically though I don't have things like that about washing hands it's more about videos I link and stuff. I have to copy paste a link to something many times to affirm that I have the right link. |

Would it make you happy to know that I did the same with that link?
As annoying as it is having these thoughts it's basically ensured that I almost never make mistakes. |

Yes and same.
I also tend to have intrusive thoughts that are disturbing to say the least.
I hate having them during conversations with people since it makes me a lot more nervous. |

I can trace it back to what caused it.
Every Christmas there's always this virus called the norovirus, it always comes back into the country after people come back after holidays.
When on christmas eve a few years back I threw up for no reason and I basically went into full on germ fighting mode and I have been ever since.
It started with hand washing, then it was checking the taps to.
I always have to say a word to myself after I've completed an action as a reminder that i've done it.
I have to get other people to lock the house doors because I get so stressed thinking that I haven't locked it properly. |

i remember i used to think a lot "if i do (something, idk like pressing on a link to something, or switching tabs before a page loads, or making it into a room before a commercial ends) that (something idk good or bad) will happen"
it didnt bother me all too much and i ended up thinking my way out of it nothing much honestly |

Damn.
I remember what caused my OCD with the YouTube links was just linking a very... different video once. |

It's such a stupid and irrational thing.
It bothers me because I am a rational person, I always think through my actions methodically.
It's like it has abused my obsession with getting things right the first time and turned it up 11.
I should be able to remember that I've washed my hands but I simply can't.
I struggle to eat outside the house because I keep thinking how long has it been sincd I last washed my hands.
It makes no sense, I never had these issues beforehand so they shouldn't be an issue now. |

Same with me for other things. I tend to act rationally aside from my hyperactivity at times. |

| I feel you, man. I was diagnosed with OCD at an early age and it's hell. I've been to psychologists at least twice for it and it hasn't been cured yet, only reduced. |

That's my issue, I can prevent some of the thoughts as i've said with basically burning my hands so I only do it once.
But the thoughts just go to another action instead.
Somehow I managed to stop thinking about when I close my bedroom door.
I just feel as though I'm at war with myself. |

| It's just the first line of that song. "God says wash your hands or #### ###### #### ##### For me it's the thought i'll get some lethal disease if I eat without washing them properly even though I have washed them properly. It sounds completely absurd when I think about it but yet I cannot control myself when doing it. |

| It is absurd, but it's the OCD that makes us do it. I used to have a fear of germs. I still do, but I managed to severely reduce it, but I had to wash my hands until they became so dry from the amount of soap that I was using they bled. |
