Can you give a few examples of what you mean by "scrutinized behaviors"? I want to answer your question, but I need to understand it better first

i don’t know if overthinking is necessarily a symptom of ocd, but i think those of us who have ocd will have personalities that also tend towards anxiety and generally overthinking things. i know it’s that way for me, at least

Like I want to know the name of my disorder desperately so I search a lot my symptoms so that I can find out what I have ,and if someone prescribe any medication then I will research on that so that I can be assured that everything is ok or my diagnosis is correct and want medication to all my problem so that I don't have to force myself to do productive work , I want medication should do all the tasks for me ..

One more thing when I study I go into details like if I have to study one day prior to my exam still I will study it from different sources like Stanford YouTube video , my text book, others YouTube videos so that I don't miss any details , sounds like perfectionism..but it is driven by anxiety , I do this bcz I want to make sure that nothing misses so I study from different sources that's why I end up failing in exam bcz it is time consuming.

One last thing is if I want to bath then I will spend I lot of time just thinking "I need to bath , why I'm unable to do such simple tasks " then I search on google about how to be productive or I will post here my queries . I could simply do the task of bathing rather thinking and analysing it too much but still I will think n end up not bathing.

It sounds like gathering excessive information is a pattern in all these compulsions

How can you say gathering excessive information is a part of ocd ?

Well, when you have a doubt or question (obsession) you respond by gathering loads of information (compulsion) without ever making a decision or just taking action

I am a student and I badly want to study. But these obsessive thoughts are not allowing me to do so. I am not being able to concentrate correctly because my focus goes on to the obsessive thoughts. I am completely getting backward in my academics. Could anyone give me some study tips which help me to study by overcoming my obsessions?? Plzz

What are your go-to ways of staying motivated?
Sometimes I have so much that I want to do (cleaning, exercise, hobbies, etc) but OCD makes it so hard to have energy...especially when I'm practicing not doing compulsions! Does anyone have any tips for making it easier to do everyday activities when you aren't feeling mentally great?

Schizo, existing , philosophical , doomsday ocd
Is questioning why do things happens , and why they are what they are , and the need to have an answer for every complicated question such as ( what is consiousness and how do our mind create signals and who is the I and do i control my mind or does control me and many many questions about the universe and reality) Are also considered ocd ? I saw a post for a schizophrenic friend asking same questions And i fear that is the start to me losing my mind Can anyone relate to the questions? And are they okay ? And what helps to live normal (knowing that im on paroxtine 30mg)
