Hey! I definitely am unable to finish sentences and process my thoughts because I am just not mentally present. I’m usually obsessing about my fears rather then actively talking to the person in front of me. I also stop myself from smiling or even feeling happy because I’m afraid if I’m happy I’ve accepted the thoughts and I’m afraid if I’m happy that I’m really a bad person and should not deserve happiness. It’s just the ocd talking!!!

I totally have this thing mid talking to someone, I suddenly become SO aware of myself. I’m like ‘holy shit I’m talking right now and I’m thinking about talking, this is an ocd thought, I’m having an ocd moment and the other people round me don’t even know I’m thinking this’ It’s like what the fuck. I also have the ‘don’t have too much fun now you still have ocd’ and then it feels like okay I’m not truly having fun if I have to force do/ think that? ? Ugh... but you are totally not alone? And you won’t lose control that’s another anxious thoight, I promise. I don’t mean that in a patronising way btw:) Thanks so much for posting

Same I am beyond thrilled but at the same time saddened I'm not the only one here on Earth that has this. It feels so isolating at times. If I had a magic super power it would be to end OCD in every form for everyone bc it's literal hell.

Yes I get this! I’ll be talking and having a good time then all of sudden my brain like goes blank and I forget what I was saying and it does make it hard to make sentences and keep a convo going. I think of it as sort of a brain fog. I don’t know how to stop it but I usually just try to not let it bother me. Stay strong, you’ll find yourself again ❤️

I don’t know if it’s actually brain fog but it seems similar-I’m still new to all of this. I don’t think it’s permanent though. It’s like our brains coping mechanism since we’re always so anxious, the brain gets tired and needs a break or something like that. I don’t believe you’re schizophrenic, I think it goes away during recovery and therapy. It’s just another symptom of the OCD so it should fade along with the other symptoms. Good luck!
