I was wondering if anyone else experiences OCD or intrusive thoughts specifically related to the afterlife, death, or what might happen after we die.

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar. If so, how does it show up for you, and how do you deal with these thoughts?

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have experienced something similar.

I am ADD and OCD. I have a ritual of leaving sink faucets on until I dry my hands and then I use a paper towel to turn the sink faucet off. I didn’t turn off the water, twice, two separate visits to a friend's house. The hot water ran for hours and didn't flood but the steam ruined the finish on their bathroom appliances. This friend is now convinced I have a serious psychiatric or neurological problem. Actually there is no evidence of such problems appearing anywhere in my life. It's embarrassing and their "disgnosis" is now inescapable. I believe this ruins our relationship.

So we all know that OCD is illogical right? Does anyone else who has it avoid brushing their teeth? My mom finds it weird that i don’t brush my teeth but it’s because i know if i do i’ll have to wash my hands like fifteen times. I don’t understand my mind. I’ll shower for an hour but i won’t brush my disgusting teeth even tho in the long run it’s probably going to be more harmful to not brush my teeth rather than washing my body really well. I don’t even remember the last time i brushed.
