Types of OCD obsessions - Deepstash

Types of OCD obsessions

  • Repetition: "when you check the lock 30 times before leaving the house" Endless loops of the same action.
  • Counting: "when you have do to something 5 times in a row" It could be an action or a mental counting. 
  • Order: "spend days perfecting the perfect email" or "ordering the dolls in the exact way" It manifests as incompleteness, symmetry or disgust (thinking something is contaminated)
