It's even hard to describe this type of OCD
This will be as stupid as it can be to other people, but I suffer from - going to the gym and doing exercises in a certain way, contracting and squeezing them at the top of the movement. I've been weight lifting for a few years now and this is the first thing I think about after I wake up for a year now. I've tried ignoring too as much as possible, trying to be happy, but it always comes back. I constantly believe, that something bad will happen, I will function in a bad way etc., and the worse part is that confronting this fear doesn't make it go away, still in the back of my mind I keep believing that something is actually off and keep tracing it back to this OCD.
You need to find somebody who is. It is really important that the therapist know how to teach cognitive behavioral therapy and that you are comfortable with whoever you choose to help you.
Oh yes, my mistake, I attented a psychologist, but yes, she wasn't specialized in OCD.
Psychiatrists are good for prescribing medication but it is the psychologists that teach cognitive behavioral therapy. I think you should find a psychologist that specializes in OCD.
Yes, attended for a while, sadly when i brought the topic of ocd up, it seemed that she wasn't as qualified in the topic, although she was a great psychiatrist overall.
That is a tough one. Most people think that if they don't do something a certain way, that something bad will happen to them or someone they love. I'm not really sure how to help you with this one since these are more depression issues that you are afraid of.
Have you been to see a psychologist?

I feel like I will do bad in areas of life I care about. For example, I feel like I will have no energy, have feelings of depression again, won't be able to have a good time with my girlfriend.
So if you don't do the exercises in a certain way, you feel that something bad will happen? Anything specific or just something bad?
