I can NEVER fucking shop. I always think I’m going to get the wrong thing. So I keep looking for the BEST OPTION because that way I get my money’s worth. I feel like I have such bad luck that even if I get the best quality, that should last for years, it will only last for 6 months. So I keep checking the reviews and keep looking for better products. Sometimes things stay in my cart for fucking months. Friend also noted that I’ve mentioned buy a thing years ago, but I never got it cause my OCD said it was right or good enough. Urghhhh. I just want to buy a fucking weighted blanket without obsessing about which brand is best or right!!! CAUSE THERE IS NO RIGHT!

I too have a lot of money. People think of me as a bank cause I have instant large sum of money. BUT THAT ONLY BECAUSE IM TOO ANXIOUS ILL ”spend it incorrectly “ or “waste” IT. I often watch people spend MY money on themselves cause I can’t spend it on me. I originally posted the message because my family is trying to expose me to purchasing thing within a week. Sadly, it doesn’t FEEL good to purchase anything without extensive research.

@PureOfor1please That sounds like a good exposure. I really do recommend Freedom from OCD by Jonathan Grayson. It makes a claim for making decisions and doing things no matter how it feels. For instance going to the movies in my country costs 10-20$. I would never go to the movies because researching and making a choice feels so bad and like it never is truly right. What is the point in going to the movies, something meant to be fun, when it is tormenting? So I avoid. The consequence: I never do anything cause everything is a decision. The exposures wont feel right. It will feel terrible making decisions and pointless and terrifying to spend money on things that feels so wrong and haphazard. But it is the only way to beat OCD. By doing it anywayd and preventing compulsions. Practising making decisions. The book made me realize committing to do things even if what is supposed to feel good feels terrible is the way to break free and in time get to the point where those things will feel good. Spend your money on the book! ❤ Im rooting for you.

I think it has to do with ‘perfectionism.’

@ShyGuy1979 It has to do with indecision. I recommend Freedom from OCD by Jonathan Grayson. He has a minichapter on it.

@asdfghj Thank you for telling me about that. I’ll have to definitely check this out.

@ShyGuy1979 I mean indecision probably has to do with perfectionism. Because we strive to make the perfect choice. I didnt mean to sound like what you said was wrong. Just wanted to fill in. Reading that minichapter changed my life.
