I have hyperawareness ocd. I am always aware of the position of tongue in my mouth. I always feel to rest my tongue at the roof of my mouth (probably that's my tongue's natural resting position) so, I keep it at roof of mouth. But many times I get the sensation of teeth touching the side part of my tongue and I feel very uncomfortable. I struggling with one problem from many days and that is :- I am unable to figure out what are the obsessions and what are compulsions. For eg:- 1) Is the act of moving and keeping tongue at roof of mouth a compulsion or natural thing. 2) When my tongue is resting on roof of mouth, then, when teeth touch my tongue and I get that sensation and I feel very uncomfortable, so, at that time moving the tongue somewhat away from teeth is normal or a compulsion. But in all this if I have to move my tongue then I feel anxious because it should happen unknowingly but I am aware of that. Please help me to find actual compulsions & stop hyperaware of tongue.
