That's why I believe that the OCD will be gone when I manage to answer my question.
Sorry, will edit the post in a sec, thanks for pointing that out!
Of course you have the ability to answer it. Your difficulty in convincing yourself that it's true based on reasoning and evidence should be a big hint about what the answer is.
