sick to my tummy. i have OCD.

[obsessivecooldisorder]

me refreshing reddit after i ask a reassurance question on a throwaway account

[obsessivecooldisorder]

me clicking on the same article about how feelings aren’t constant for the 127489217th time

[obsessivecooldisorder]

when you find reassurance but within the reassurance is a trigger for a different obsession 

[obsessivecooldisorder]

me, writing down a compulsion to see its frequency in obstructing my life: this is so cringe

[obsessivecooldisorder]

my therapist: just sit with the anxiety, it’s not going to hurt you, just breathe...

me: 

[rosewater1997]

i know its unhealthy to live in your own dream world but like…its safe bitch

[obsessivecooldisorder]

finally!

[margomoment]

Me: I'm not gonna do my compulsion. What's the worst that can happen?

My intrusive thoughts:

[obsessivecooldisorder]

online learning really said are you going to use this time to turn your mic and camera off to do some compulsions instead of learning so you can fail three tests and then didn’t wait for an answer

[obsessivecooldisorder]

mmm yay temporary relief...finally i feel okay wait what was i thinking about

oh no

[obsessivecooldisorder]

just did some compulsions and now i feel even worse. maybe dr therapist was correct. 

[pure-o-soft]

me after searching for very specific and obscure information online in order to find relief: haha ! I finally got the better of you, thots.

my ocd:

[obsessivecooldisorder]

*spends all day doing compulsions* why do i feel bad lol

[obsessivecooldisorder]

days be like wake up, intrusive thoughts, obsess, daydream, obsess, daydream, obsess, ruminate, eat dinner, have dream about obsessions, repeat cycle

[obsessivecooldisorder]

friendly reminder that ocd can latch onto anything, not just the most common themes : )
