Ocd: you may have made a promise to God to drink only coffee from that cafeteria.
guy: it is just a compulsion.
ocd: are you sure? thoughts without your will popped up about a promise
guy: thoughts without my will due to ocd. they are not valid.
ocd: maybe due to ocd, for a second, you may have said to God that you will be drinking only coffee from that cafeteria. maybe it was for a second and you do not remember it. maybe you changed the compulsion into a real promise.
guy: no.
ocd: cant you remember? maybe you were talking to God when thinking about this compulsion.
the guy tries to remember if he ever prayed to God in order to validate a promise about only drinking coffee from that cafeteria. by trying to remember, some words popped up in his head in order to see if he ever prayed about that. the words were like:
he never thought or prayed about that. he never said that he validates the promise not to drink anything else but coffee related stuff. he tried to imagine himself praying what ocd is telling him about. he imitated for a second, without his will, the hypothetical prayer that ocd was telling him. he did that in order to remember. he was not praying but was trying to imitate if did that prayer in the past. that moment, he freaked.
ocd: by trying to imitate the prayer in order to remember if you did it in the past or not, it made you look like as if you were praying right now about it. maybe that counts as an accidental prayer and it is valid. maybe you just validated the promise by imitating a prayer in order to see if you ever did that or not. you used the word God in your thoughts while trying to imitate an hypothetical prayer. maybe that counts as a real prayer. and maybe that made your compulsion into a real validated promise.
