OCD latches onto the things that you care about: the things that matter, the things you wouldn't normally doubt, the things you feel like you can't tolerate uncertainty or doubts about... The OCD thoughts and concerns go against what you actually think, want, and value: that's why they can be so distressing. What does your OCD sound like?
When at it's worst, it sounds like a never ending internal dialogue of bad things "to come."
@Anonymous Yup! It’s so important to remember that we are stronger than our OCD!
Isn’t that the truth ! It’s so exhausting for me anymore, I can try to “debate” but usually right at the last minute of reasoning here comes an even scarier thought and then I give in . Endless cycle.
@Dmnoll79 This is so relatable. OCD does not respond to logic.
@Dmnoll79 just happened to me right now !
What if my spouse cheats on me. Even though I've never caught him doing anything except maybe staring at pretty girls the anxiety doesn't leave me alone
an exhausting draining mental state. like a record player playing the same song the same line, the same moment no stop until you can get it to stop skipping then it skips again on another scratch
My ocd tells me that a random ache or pain will get much worse and I won’t be able to have fun working out anymore.
