Thank you so much, Sam! This is unfortunately not very much talked about in the literature or OCD content online. By far the worst symptom of this disorder, in my experience. Not only do these urges they feel EXTREMELY real, but they feel super intense as well, as if your mind and body is strong-arming you into acting out on it and you're about to snap and lose control any minute. And these urges are impossible to shrug off, they feel so strong that you feel you need to pay attention to them. I find myself staring at people towards whom I'm experiencing these urges to figure it out. Then I give in to compulsions and start analysing and checking for the distress, anxiety, disgust to prove to myself that this is just OCD and you can't find them. It's so painful. 😢
