I have days like this too, especially with racing thoughts, and an urge to sort and organize them to feel on track. This is a good opportunity to practice bringing yourself back to the present, and work on accepting that you may or may not go off track. Continuing to try to remember every single thought will add to the spirals and your exhaustion. Do you work with an ERP therapist right now, or do you have tools that help you?

Hi, I’m really sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed. OCD can make it feel like you have to track every thought and that everything has to be perfect. Try to let it go, even if it’s just for a moment. With OCD, it's common to feel like you need to hold onto everything, but it’s okay to let some thoughts slip away. You’re not off track if you forget something, it’s the OCD creating that pressure. A helpful tip is to practice "noticing" the thought without needing to act on it. Instead of trying to hold onto it, just acknowledge it, and then let it pass

So relatable! I have felt like this. ERP has helped me a lot with breaking free from feeling trapped by this. Have you ever met with an ERP therapist?

Have you tried writing your thoughts down when they are overwhelming, just to "get them out"? When OCD tries to badger you about all the things you need to get done, you can tell OCD, "if I forget, I can tolerate imperfection, good is good enough!"
