"Pure OCD"

[ohh EPiC FAiL]

i can kind of relate to the Pure-O in a way, although i do have outward compulsions. i try almost daily to overcome my compulsions that i do to keep the obsessive thoughts at bay, but when i stop doing my outward compulsions the thought process goes haywire. i typically give up no more than 5 minutes in to doing it, but the couple times i've resisted longer than that i will start freaking out having thoughts of driving my car off the road, putting a gun to my head, my wife leaving me and taking my son, or someone in my family getting hurt. i know i really don't need to worry about my wife leaving or anyone getting hurt, and i definitely won't kill or hurt myself, but the thoughts arise. i can't get the thoughts to go away without distracting myself by browsing forums or playing with my RC cars or something--or compulsing. i'm not sure that's exactly how pure-O works but it seems somewhat close.
