A lot of professionals in the field actually don't see any functional difference between obsessions and worry. They serve the same function (or dysfunction, rather) which is at first to try to protect us, but it ends up being done too much to the point that it is maladaptive and we have dysfunctional coping as a result of it. At the end of the day, they are both treated the same. Worry/obsessions have to be met with an acceptance of the uncertainty and engaging in effective problem solving rather than avoidance / rumination
But it feels as tho I want the thoughts I'm having and I'm not sure how to cope
