re: OCD is ruining my life

You don't have OCD, you just have no will power or self control


I struggle with it too, but not as bad as you do. You checking the internet every two minutes isn't a damn medical condition, you just can't control your impulses.

I had this issue in my early 20s. Drove myself nuts overthinking, over analyzing and redundantly checking things.

Yeah, it is horrible. But it can even get much worse. Thinking you're going to do something violent even though you won't. Thinking something tragic is going to happen even though it probably won't. Constantly worrying to the point that you're just checking over and over again like you describe.

Honey, can you bring home some milk, coffee filters, and some of that good yogurt the kids like with fruit on the bottom.

Be safe.
