As if it’s not enough to have loads on anxiety leading up to the decision, as soon as I make it, I have tons of anxiety about if it was the right decision! “Maybe you should change it if you can” my brain says. “And do it quickly before its too late” my brain says. Ugh, some decisions - even some that seem like they should be simple - are too hard.
That's 100% my struggle. I call it decision ocd.
@anniegreb Yes, decision OCD!! Sometimes I impress myself by not giving into decisions compulsions but other times I fall deep into them. 😬
Not like ocd compulsions but more you buy something you should not have or do some not bad but you should not have done. Examples like eating a lot of food at one time, start a random project when you need to do something else , do not do things you need to get done. Say yes thing you don’t have time to do. Can anyone else relate?
sometimes, to try and prove my fear wrong i’ll be like “ okay, let me think of this REALISTICALLY. would i REALISTICALLY feel this way or do this thing? “ then i come up with scenarios in my head on how i think i would realistically ( or logically ) do something but then my feelings go against that thing i thought of then i start getting anxiety and start to fear that i would actually want my fear to happen or that i’d feel a certain way that proves my fear true. it’s basically just checking how i feel about something i think of to try and prove my fear wrong, checking my emotions or checking how i think i’d realistically feel towards it.. but then i may react “ unrealistically “ it goes wrong and i freak out
That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
