    Anyone has issues with obsessive thoughts? I'm not necessarily just talking about PMO, but anything materialistic really; things like obsessing about buying new pair of shoes even if you don't really need one.
    I know the quote from fightclub that says things you end up owning ends up owning you and I feel like I've got an OCD habit revolving around having things set a particularly way I want them to be. Not sure if PMO causes this but I thought I'd ask if anyone else are on the same boat.

    Yes I had OCD and yes I cured it. PMO clearly aggravates intrusive thoughts in my experience.

    Here's how I fixed it:
    - I started going to psychotherapy to fix my many shits (OCD, PMO addiction, chronic anxiety, childhood problems, relationship problems).
    - I started daily meditation with the Headspace app: it helped me realized how my thoughts controlled my life and how to reverse the process.
    - Watched a fair amount of videos from this guy on YT, who specializes in OCD (after having himself come back from hell):
