Is there any sub that can help with ocd?

OCD is just an insecurity about not having done something correctly. Anything else is just a fear of something, which like you said, is normal.

Self-confidence is the belief in ones self and ones own abilities. To have self-confidence is to NOT be insecure about something you've done, as well as having confidence in your future actions.

Actually OCD is most likely a direct result of someone lacking self-confidence.

Should be simple right? Apparently not for some people.

Actually, OCD is not an insecurity about not having done something correctly. It's an inability to immediately process that a thing has been done at all, usually memory-related, control issues, or a combination of both. Whether the control issues stem from insecurity is another story entirely, however.

First of all, if we're dealing with cognitive impairment or memory loss towards a certain action, the situation would be beyond emotional healing. The memory loss part is *****, most likely pulled out of thin air. If not, then I'd like to see a source.

Second of all yes, control issues would be a factor but that just further proves the point that self-confidence is indeed the issue. Someone who's self-confident would not continually revisit some action until it's effect is emotionally satisfactory to them, which is what OCD is, they might not even visit the action in the first place.

Btw, this isn't a free for all, I'm about 2% interested in this conversation.

Not so sure about that, Cozy. Cognitive impairment can indeed exist because of emotional problems.

A normal, healthy person being scared, realize that the feeling exist and that it will pass, and is not consumed by the feeling (if not the case being extreme, where his/hers life is in dager), but have some perspective to it.

An emotionally damaged/hurt person can't do that. Feelings are not ponds that you step in and can step out from, they are frickin quicksand. So instead, to cope, they can resort to what others would call "over-thinking" (as the example with locking the door).

Thus, being emotionally healthy will reduce the need to dodge emotions, and regular reason will take over-thinkings place.

However, confidence will play a part in the game, being a subset of emotional health in general. The question is how broad approach of emotional healing that is needed for the specific individual, E2 being broader in its nature while being ASC aimed at one specific part of emotional health.
