Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has two main parts: obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwelcome thoughts, images, urges, worries or doubts that repeatedly appear in your mind.

Excitement of any kind is a state of arousal.

Does doing bad things make you a bad person?
Just because you’ve done bad things doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Not to mention, bad is subjective. Bad for you might not be bad for someone else. Remember, messing up, making mistakes, all of that just means you’re human. You’re a human being who is imperfect. It’s okay to realize that.

Do you feel bad if you don’t help other people?

How do you know if you’re a bad person?
Your heart and brain are always in a scuffle. Both end up bruised. You do bad things but you’re not a bad person. You say you’re going to the gym but eat an entire microwavable pizza by yourself instead. Someone needs you and you’re suddenly unavailable.
