Do you have behaviors which you consider nonsensical or unreasonable but you still do them?

[noname223]

I think many of mine OCD behaviors are irrational. Most of the time they are a huge burden for me. But in seldom cases they helped to avoid issues. I am such a control freak.

I have rebeled against taking medication a long time despite the fact I knew it was dangerous as fuck. I was pretty paranoid and unstable but I wanted to protest against my life. The time was horrible. I really appreciate the better life quality since I am taking them but to a certain degree I can understand that I did not want to accept them.

Sometimes I am just too lazy to the right things. I am so lazy concerning sports. This will probably fuck my bones if I become old. But there were times for me when almost everything was irrelevant. When I was extremely depressed I did not brush my teeth enough and did not to go to doctors. I am glad I have changed that. Though I think I am again at rock bottom I won't have the discipline or will-power to the righ thing.

I'm not going to give you a hard time, sounds like you do that to yourself. That's why you're a good person. I always enjoy reading your posts, you have a vested interest in other people which is rare. Give yourself some credit for the effort you do make.

Thank you very much for this compliment. I really appreciate it and it means much to me!

Sending a lot of love! :)

I don't look after myself properly at all. My bad behaviours are the ones I don't do (besides smokin). I also talk to everyone about my suicide plans, maybe it's stupid

Came here to say OCD habits, none of them "make sense" and are very unreasonable. Like yea I love touching my door knob until it "feels right" before I can go to bed! Come on brain!

I'm sure most of us here also don't take of things like we're supposed to or when we need to, like you said. Neglecting chores or myself just makes me feel worse. But I'll wait for those bursts of energy when sometimes I can get so much done.

Did you experience any problems from not brushing your teeth? Or was it pretty ok?

I have a long list of silly behaviours. The most important is that I feel the need to attack people. I guess it is because I am not happy with my own life and I need to lash out at other people. However it is like I have some sort of voice in my head that tell me to attack the person in front of me, to escalate the situation when it is not needed. In those moment I feel like I am not in control and there is somebody else driving my body. Then I go home and I realise I made a mistake.

I just insulted a colleague over the business email wishing him to be dead. I broke all bridges with a friend in the same way a few moments ago. I am currently creating fake accounts on the social media so I can keep be harsh. I know it is nonsense but it is like I am not in control of what I do in certain moments.

my life often seems like irrational behavior

I had some holes in my teeth. And I regret it a lot. But I was extremely depressive and agitated for more than a year. I could not do anything productive.
Now I am way more disciplined concerning my teeth. I also go to the dentist regularly so that he can check them.

talking to a suicidal person. Oh, wait it's me!
