Yep! Along those lines…Does anyone deal with OCD in relationships where you’re constantly ritualizing making sure people aren’t mad at you? I constantly ask “are you mad at me?” or I’ll go back and over-clarify things I said and people are always like “dude I didn’t even notice you said something wrong” or “i didn’t even think about it that way”. It’s relieving but I feel like it’s just the OCD getting what it wants out of the ritual. Making this a post too. Chime in✌🏼

Lately I’m at the point that when s thought, worry, feeling starts looping in my head I kind of look at it and remind myself… it’s ok, it’s just my stupid ocd… it kind of works….. gonna keep practicing awareness and see how it goes… I’m onto you you dumbass spoiled attention seeking insidious fucking IRRITATING STUPID OCD. My ocd reminds me of the people I don’t want to bump into in the supermarket….. see them and conveniently change course…. Anyway let’s all have a great day and kick our ocd to the curb!!!!

WHERE WAS THIS ABILITY IN HIGHSCHOOL?! When I needed it to strike….nah nvm to be honest it is what saved my school life actually I think we have a tendency to over analyze everything, to overthink everything and make “logical connections” between stuffs. The last part is the most important I think, it’s OCD’s best friend because it means it can create an infinite amount of new fear for us lol

The phrase "it's not that deep"
Today I've let myself go down a huge rabbit hole regarding this phrase and it's stressing me out. Sometimes, yes, it is that deep. But other times, it really isn't. I keep finding myself torn between these two ideals. I've been seeing all these videos regarding the rise of anti-intellectualism and the anti-woke mob, all that. These videos make me extremely worried about cancel culture and moral guilt, and they had me rethinking every morally wrong, gross, questionable thing or thought I ever had. I saw many comments saying that yes everything is that deep and it feels like my mind is on constant security and asking myself "what would the internet think about the things I've thought of or may have done?" On one hand, I feel like if I say "it's not that deep", I feel like a hypocrite or a bad person or an idiot. But on the other hand if I say "it is that deep", my OCD begins to spiral and analyze everything about myself. It's not healthy to overanalyze everything but it's also not healthy to ignore bad things. It's very stressful Does anyone relate to this?

Texting with OCD
Can anybody relate? I get so anxious to text people and reply, especially friends. I overthink everything I say wondering if they will think it’s funny or if it’s the right reply and when I send it I keep thinking that I said something evil or unfunny so I keep rechecking the text to make sure it’s ok. It’s so frustrating because all I want to do is talk to my friends but I get so anxious about texting them thinking something evil will happen so I just barely text them💔 if anyone has any advice to help with this please let me know 🙏

Overthinking or ocd
I feel like my whole life I’ve been overthinking everything. I remember having really bad intrusive thoughts as a kid but I thought I had gotten over it. I feel like I’m starting to see that it’s just not manifested in different ways. I tried to bring it up with my therapist but she thinks it’s just anxiety. I feel like it’s something more. Does anyone have any advice on what personally showed you what was the difference
