My OCD symptoms used to be mostly related to mental checking. If I thought something tragic would happen in the future, I spent much time on convincing myself in a “logical” way that it would not occur. For example, I often worried about the possibility of my house burning down from electronics. Although I could keep myself from throwing away all the electronics, I needed to do a ritual of saying to myself for numerous times, “It won’t catch on fire as it hasn’t before.”
