Can you obssess about recovery?

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.
Yes!
And yes!🤪
Omg 😂 this is insanity! OK I had a feeling bc I've been obsessively reading about it, listening to podcasts, reading books etc 🤦♀️
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? i’ve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
