Ok, we all know Ocd sufferers are famous for their rituals. I have tons of them. The problem I have is not being able to understand why I do them. Like constantly checking my zipper, or having to do things certain ways. I'm doing exposure therapy right now, but I am having trouble figuring out why I am doing these things. I guess I've done these rituals for so long that they are just a habit to me now. Sometimes I feel that something bad may happen if I don't perform a ritual, but most of the time I just do it because I am compelled to do so. It feels good. I am just having trouble understanding it all. Any input appreciated. I'm going to do more research.
