Omg yes and if I make a mistake when typing I either have to repeat it correctly (whether a letter, word, sentence, paragraph) or repeat the mistake before I correct it. For that reason it takes me forever and I get behind.

It feels amazing for people to get it! I also did a test today, I was pages off finishing. I knew that I had no time and I needed to hurry up but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t stop. I have a problem with reading because I will read over and over. It gets really bad in exams because I re-read the questions over and over. School are great for me. They have experience with kids that can’t read so I think that because I can read they are really trying to help me as though I can’t. This is really great because they acknowledge my problem!

Yes! I had an exam this morning and it took me (no joke) 15 minutes for ONE question just to write! I kept erasing and erasing! I even cried because I wanted to stop but I couldn’t. And the fact that someone can actually understand me is sooo amazing! Nobody understands when I tell them that. They go like: Well just don’t erase! They don’t know that it is not that easy. But YOU understand me! Thank you! ❤️❤️

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

When an intrusive thought comes I can’t just say “that’s not true” and just move on. I always feel like I have to disprove the thought and be able to say it with confidence but the problem is that the ocd doesn’t allow me to feel and say it with confidence so I get stuck for hours or even days. How can I stop feeling like I need to do this?

Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me
