OCD causes me to overthink problems too much; it's frustrating.

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✌🏼

FOR REAL

Seriously

Couldn’t agree more :(

Same here

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
