Can ocd twist what actually happens? I have dealt with intrusive thoughts and I think it's my ocd that twists when I can be in the middle of doing something and have an intrusive thought at the same time. However, I still can't make the uncertainty go away. I wouldnt analyze if it actually happened. I feel like a horrible person. Any suggestions

Hi! I was diagnosed 4 years ago with OCD. Right now I am struggling with intrusive thoughts while in the middle of doing something. Then after the thought I panic and have anxiety thinking did I do what my thought was? Example: If I was taking care of someone and was helping them in some way, then an intrusive thought popped up as I'm helping (say harm) them. Then I worry that I harmed them. Like if I was helping with a bath and water got on someones face while I was rinsing their hair and the thought had to do with them not breathing or making it difficult to breathe because of the water getting on their face. Then worry that I didnt grab a towel fast enough, like I hesitated before getting the water off. I hope this makes sense. Could use some/tip please and thank you
