Do any of you experience the pain in your head you get after or while doing a bunch of rituals/OCD actions. The best way I can describe it is that it doesn’t feel like a normal headache - it’s a different feeling and pain. It feels like I’m going crazy in my mind and that my mind is about to explode from doing things over and over again and thinking to much. —- Does anyone have these headache things?

but is it OCD if when i get a thought that makes me anxious i have to hit my head a certain number of times to get it out of my head to relive my brain that everything is fine now (doesn’t always help though). or am i just being dramatic?

I feel like OCD has destroyed my brain relative to where I was before it. Headaches, worse memory, brain fog, mental fatigue, etc. How scary is that. Then I think "oh it's just 'cause you're worrying about that and it's temporary" Thing is, what happens when the temporary becomes the new normal? I hate this sh**

does anyone else constantly suffer from intrusive thoughts? it makes my head ache & i can barely think straight.
