You are not your thoughts. I myself am undiagnosed, but throughout my life I've had various obsessive thoughts that brought much needless suffering.
>Fear of not counting random objects I pass by in the correct order
>Fear of insects crawling around in my skull
>Fear of permanently being brain-damaged by drug use
>Fear of not checking the status of my door after I locked it
>Fear of evil spirits / hauntings in my house
>Fear of becoming a pedophile
>Fear of disappointing / angering God
>Fear of turning into a homosexual
Last one was a real bitch, because it turned normal day-to-day interactions into a mental Spartan obstacle race to make absolutely, positively, sure I had no sexual responses / thoughts during a conversation with dudes I always chill with. What helped me and currently helps is to always remember that you are not your thoughts. They can't hurt you. Do not seek reassurance that whatever irrational fear you're feeling is real or not. Be 114% confident that sometime in the future, you'll look back on the fears and obsessions you used to have and laugh your ass off. You are your actions, not your thoughts. And always remember, God loves you, and wants you to win your battles and become the best version of yourself. Hope that helps a bit, fren.
