Man, this is so weird. I usually feel so free here. There’s such help and comfort in this community of those who understand and the extra level of protection from anonymity. But right now, those invasive thoughts have latched on to the idea that those in my life about whom I might want to vent are here to take it incorrectly. Damn it, OCD, this is my safe space, so of course you attack me here. 🤦🏼‍♀️ No wonder I’ve been so moody, a difficult situation in my family right now, AND, thoughts on top of it that it’s not safe to vent. What talking does take place feels stunted. No closure. And boom, intrusive thoughts walk that line of rumination. I’ve tried talking with my partner. Tried talking with a safe third party. Tried going about my day despite the chatter. I just feel like the situation keeps unfolding and bringing me right back to getting stuck in my head. OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS. Kinda wish we could just turn off the caring about certain things sometimes, or that it was more ok to go scream somewhere for emotional release. 😮
