Can OCD lurk in the background in pure silence? Honestly it feels like it's just sitting there, silently observing and faintly influencing how I see everything and everyone around me, like in the peripherals of my consciousness

Yes!! Was just crying hysterically about this feeling. I’m not actually thinking about my harm ocd but the heavy lurking feeling is driving my crazy I just want it to dissolve. It is as if it’s always there. Just a feeling …what can we do?!)

Like I’m not aware of it on a normal day, but the little habits I express and the subtle thoughts I have, I wonder if that’s OCD’s faint touch
