Question: "Threatning" OCD

I feel sorry that i had to make another post, but I have a question.

Does anyone else experience this: Sometimes, when you try to fight the OCD, does your mind propose a threat to you? Like, sometimes, my brain will tell me to hurry up and zip up my pants before all of the toilet water flushes down the toilet. If I try to ignore it, then my brain will propose that something bad will happen to me if I don't meet the requirements.

If that wasn't understandable, here's another one: Your brain tells you to toss a a piece of ice in the trash and if you miss, then you will die tomorrow.

This happens to me a whole lot and it can be extremely menacing. I have succeeded before, meaning I didn't listen to it once and the proposed thing didn't come true, but even after that proof i have, I still give into it at times. This has been happening to me and my sister since we were children and I wonder if it's more common with people, more than what they let on? ..

neptune,

I don't think that is unusual at all with OCD. It sort of "hits the nail on the head" so to speak. It is sort of the essence of it for me. When I get a compulsion to do something, it feels like I will have to move heaven and earth to either do or not to do (whatever the compulsion is telling me) the thing that is bothering me. I have compulsions to have towels and face cloths facing a certain way. If they are not, then I feel like the world is going to end. I can not sleep if I know that one is amiss. I can't sit still, I can't eat or breathe steadily or think straight.

I hope it helps you to know that you are not alone or strange within the context of OCD. You should rent the movie "As good as it gets" the character in it has severe OCD. It might give you some perspective on how you fit in on the spectrum.
