Can you obssess about recovery?
About anxiety and ocd recovery? I swear if I hear yes that means we really can obssess over ANYTHING π

Very interesting thread. I notice that almost anything, even the positive stuff can be tinged with OCD & GAD . For example working on recovery, sports , music, movies , personal interests. I think often things can get taken too far where obsessive and compulsive feelings can partially ruin even the greatest of things . Having healthy balance of anything is important.
Exactly π―
Yes!
And yes!π€ͺ
Omg π this is insanity! OK I had a feeling bc I've been obsessively reading about it, listening to podcasts, reading books etc π€¦ββοΈ
This is definitely true that we can obsess over anything regardless of what theme or topic it is I was obsessing over a superstitious belief and my mind was constantly giving me what if's which at night proved to be wrong I am mean I know that was wrong but still my mind was not letting off that thought
It's nuts isn't it?!
@Anonymous Yup!
Do you think one day in recovery theyβll be a day I donβt think about the fact I even have ocd?
I was wondering if this is a thing. Like, say, especially if you are in the process of getting better. Doesn't doing ERP every day keep reminding you of your obsessions? Is there a point where you should do it less often? Or how does this work?
Can thoughts actually become true? Worried ever since I read it on google. My OCD has gotten really bad since Iβve had 4 pregnancies in the last 3 years. I had a miscarriage stillborn healthy baby and now pregnant again. My mind has gone crazy.
