I’m back after a long time of not posting! My OCD has been immensely under control compared to my worst points. I’ve had a recurring theme that’s been getting worse lately. It has to do with taking in information. Like if I’m watching a show and miss what they say I feel like I have to go back and hear it again. Or if I’m on tik tok and hear a word I’m unfamiliar with, I HAVE to look it up. The thought “it will bother me if I don’t” is the unerlyer It’s a weird theme in that it’s hard for me to tell at times if my curiosity is fueling me or if it’s OCD. It feels like it has just been more constant lately and taking over some of my enjoyment of relaxing viewing/existing. Anyone experience anything like this?
