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

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It's even hard to describe this type of OCD

It's fine. Ocd can involve certain movements like that.
I want you to try not squeezing the next time you go to the gym. Just lift the weights and tell yourself that today is a day where will you do something slightly different. Then, when your day proceeds normally, your brain will understand that not doing one little thing won't affect you.

Sounds a lot like OCD. A lot of our ocd has to do with fear of not doing something right and something awful happening because of it. Try your best to ignore those rituals. They are what keep you in ocd bondage. Try and do as grandvizier said and ignore it. Don't give in.
