Why is my OCD so smart?

Question:

I stopped doing physical things to satisfy it years ago but now it makes me think about stuff over and over and over again. I have power over my body so I can control that, but I cant stop the thoughts! Here is an example of what it does. I drove home once after drinking and when I woke up my mind told me I killed a family and that bodies were burning all because of me. Now My car had no damage but still that was not enough to convince me I did not crash into a family. So I read the newspapers everyday for the next month trying to see if there was a dead family somewhere. MY mind told me that maybe they have not been found yet. So I kept reading papers forever. My rational mind tells me it is ridiculous but somehow I can't help but be tormented by the crazy thoughts. My OCD never leaves, once I beat one compultion it finds a new way to screw with me. How do I stop it?

Answers:
I have ocd too. I am always cleaning my house, and even when it is clean it still feels like it is dirty. I don't know how to stop it either my Dr. has me on a new medication zoloft so i hope it helps. If it does i will let you know. I heard that there are groups you can go to for ocd. Good Luck

You should consider seeing someone about that, maybe you can get into a group where you can speak freely with others who understand what you're going through. If you don't, you might not be able to control you thoughts and could eventually go insane.
