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! ❤️❤️

Does anybody else experience OCD while reading? I feel like i need to remember everything in my book. And i have a feel that i need to completely understand EVEYTHING in my book (even very minor things) and if not, i feel as though im cheating or that the minor thing is very significant and that ill want to remember it even way after i finish the book (just for the purpose of knowing EVERYTHING about my book) Also, when a character says some minor things i feel the need to understand it completely or i feel the fear that i didn’t understand what the character actually meant. If youve struggled with this please give tips on how to overcome it

Hi, I'm writing this hopefully to get some advice and to see if anyone else relates to this. Recently my OCD has revolved around how well I speak and explain things to others and myself. So every time I speak, whether I'm explaining something or responding to someone or something, I'm always editing in my head immediately after. For example, my Roomate missed an appointment and I said to her "oh no, are you still able to get another one while you're here?" and in my head right after I was like, "Oh my gosh that was so wordy, people don't even talk like that, you should have just said 'can you still get one." I feel like there's a grammerly or chatgpt bot in my head always being like "oh, well you could have said it like this and phrased that part in the end rather than in the beggining, yada yada yada. I don't even remember how I used to talk and what a normal way of saying things even is anymore. I feel so dumb and scared to explain anything or even just speak but I also sometimes freeze and avoid questions in my head that I don't feel smart enough to explain even if I think I have an idea. I also edit other people in my head too which is so annoying, because I'm always mentally correcting them, when they really don't need to be corrected. I've always loved giving advice to people too but now I've become so bad at it and I don't even know what I'm saying half the time. I also have to answer every question that pops into my head perfectly and if I don't then I won't be prepared for when/if someone asks me. There’s never a right or perfect answer and I feel like with any decision I make in regards, I’m doing a compulsion either way. If I don’t answer them, then I’m avoiding it and if I do then I’m checking and seeking reassurance.

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
