It's like an abusive person and I've already had enough of them in my life. It's really funny how ocd turned even my own self into someone that abuses me. This brings me to the realization that all this abuse eventually molded me into a person that actually hates herself. Sometimes i wish we could control our whole phyche via some sort of control panel.

Yes! It really is! I remember telling my councellor back in 2020 "I really like you, but I know at some point I will start 'deconstructing' you and only looking at your flaws and will only think negative things" Little did I know that was OCD... Anything I value, or try to, gets ruined by endless doubts. It's so abusive, it gaslights you by making you think and feel things you disagree with. It will twist everything as negatively as possible.

Is OCD basically thoughts that are stuck?
Another way to describe it is a loss of ability to let uncomfortable thoughts flow through our minds. It's like a fire alarm going off in our heads and an urgency to work out what these thoughts mean and what we can do about them and it's the exact reason why going to talk therapy is the worst thing that someone with OCD can do.

Trouble Relaxing
Does anyone else have a really hard time relaxing? It feels related to OCD but also maybe not? I struggle with scrupulously themes and worrying I’m doing something wrong and I feel like I’m doing something bad by relaxing when I know I still have things on my to do list (which seems to be never ending). Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
