Hey guys just wondering if anyone suffers from this type of OCD. I feel a big struggle to even begin things because it doesn’t feel right or if I resume things it doesn’t feel right. Anyone have any advice ? Thank you
I can totally relate to this. Are you working with an OCD therapist? They can design ERP exercises for you. For example, I could never finish a book because I would reread and reread thinking I’d missed something or if I’d put the book down for a time I’d have to start from the beginning again. My therapist assigned me to read just 5 pages per day without going back, which was much more doable.
Thank you for sharing your experience. That persistent feeling that something isn't 'just right' can be exhausting and truly interfere with daily life, which is characteristic of how OCD can manifest. Recognizing this pattern is an important step. Help is here at NOCD and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too.

@Ashley Moffitt Thank you so much Ashley
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
Does anyone struggle with feeling like their ocd issues are not ocd enough compared to other peoples ocd? Is this an ocd thought itself lol
