Pure OCD, anybody do this?

1 Reply

Does anyone have OCD and hit rewind and fast foward about past and future situations? It's usually a conversation I have with someone or I'm anticipating a conversation to be. I play it over and over in my head like every little detail has to be thought about again and again. It's to the point where it is annoying. I take hella meds, so need no help there, but how do I stop this Pete and Repeat process? Or a song in my head at night? Geez leave me alone! It's so annoying. I even think about what I should write down, rather than just righting it down. I use to make alot of notes, but I am not feeling the whole note writing thing anymore because they freak me out when I find them later and I forgot about them. It's like I want my conversation with myself to be private and thought and not talked about. Then if I throw them away or burn them, I'll feel like I'll forget something I wrote. I'm super forgetful too, but I think I know what that is. Did I explain myself well enough? You see what I mean? It's way worst when I haven't slept too.

I had no clue this was an OCD thing. I do quite a few of the same things, including the note writing. I just thought this was a normal thing for people to do because my brain has been doing this since I was a child
