Is this God or OCD?

[Harley.]

Sometimes ill get a thought telling me if I don't do X a certain number of times Y (specific bad thing) will happen.

Other times certain thoughts I think will trigger a painful prick on my body. I can't tell if this is God. It seems to be accurate so it scares me. It has predicted so many outcomes correctly.

It's 100% OCD. You're exibitingbehaviours and thought patterns of OCD I've noticed. Even by posting multiple times and repeating the same question (which is obsessive desire for certainty), as well as some addictive tendencies, which can be symptomatic of OCD and other conditions OCD is co-morbid with (ADHD, ASD, Bipolar, etc).

I say this as someone who has also had certain forms of OCD in life.

I advise looking up the Youtube channel "madeofmillions" because it has fantastic advice for OCD sufferers. I will link directly:

Check out their playlists on the types of OCDs and what applies to you. But I imagine you might have "classical" OCD going on, which makes you think you have to do illogical rituals to prevent bad events, but you also might have sexual OCD, and also Religious Scrupulosity OCD.

That painful prick you get also can be part of OCD, where extremely strong thoughts can almost have "physical sensations". This is known as "OCD Thought-sensory fusion".

Some other videos for you:

I pray for your wellbeing and that you're able to progress in treating the condition.

Just know that it can't harm you, they are just thoughts at the end of the day from an overprotective mind making association fallacies with thoughts and ideas as threats and creating a "psychological superstition" ie; "magical thinking" as a coping method for the intrusive thoughts, feelings and ideas you have.
