Anyone experienced OCD?

hi everyone. I have been really struggling with ocd for a long time. today I have this ocd thoughts that if I mention “I don’t want to have an earthquake” 3 times while ending on 6 then there will be an earthquake or if I do the same with 7 it will be the same.

So my mind wants me to keep going without stopping on 6 or 7

I have created that 6= bad or devil

while 7 = good or God.

3= perfection

so if I say “I don’t want to have an earthquake” 6 or 7 times while thinking of 3 there could be one.

my therapist appointment is this thursday. I dont want an earthquake to happen and im panicking.

Now I said something around 3-4 times and earlier I ended around if im correct at 6. that's 6 and 3 and my mind is like if in the future an earthquake happens it's because of you.

Yes I have. The compulsions were mental. Look up Mark Freeman on YouTube. He worked wonders for my OCD.

Do the structured education programme... Try and concentrate on that....
All numbers are good.... 3 doubled is 6 .......
If you do the work and see your therapist you can change this....you are a good person.... ,
