I know the feeling. It sucks, but at least we know we are not alone in this.

I have for a long time. OCD made me constantly worried that I wasn't intelligent enough, so I would run things I've said, did, or even read over and over until I was comfortable...until I felt I had to do it again the next time. It was exhausting and scary, but I can definitely say I've been doing better now that I learned what it is and how ERP can help.

A lot of Youtube videos on how to do ERP were very helpful for me. I recommend watching Ali Greymond's videos on resisting compulsions. The way she describes the process makes so much sense and it really made a difference in my recovery.
