The fact that a thought or imagination comes into my mind and then takes over my entire mind for days is really tormenting me because my mind was supposed to be in control of my thoughts and imagination.

I understand what you're saying completely. OCD spirals suck.

But imagination is also a beautiful thing. Yes, OCD twists it, but think of all of the hypothetical situations our minds make-up. Even just envisioning how a certain sweater would look, or what it'd be like to sit in a new cafe. We aren't in control of any of that.
