OCD from ocd🤣🤣

[Wheeloffortune]

I have to share something funny! My ocd tells me to respond to all the posts on this sight! I just realized today that it’s ocd!!! I read all the posts and then feel like i “have to” respond just right to everyone!! I’m totally laughing at ocd and how ridiculous it can be!! So, try laughing at your thoughts!! I know some of them are scary, but what if we tricked our brains and laughed at our thoughts??? Anyway, I’m doing erp and not responding today, but I am sending love💖💖💖

This is amazing! I too have found at times I feel an urgency to make sure that I’m answering everyone’s post and giving my full support - but ultimately I have to put myself first and focus on my treatment. I love this platform so much that I never want it to become a compulsion. I am so happy for you that you recognize your compulsions and are taking the proper steps to work towards recovery. This is so awesome!!!

I think that there are several of us that have this problem. It's hard to find people that can relate to what you're going through and then ignore them as a resource. I feel like I have to read all of the posts on the site and reply if there's something that I can relate to. I want so much to have a lot of content here and keep the discussions going. It is really validating to have someone keep the focus on OCD because it is such an attention hog, and it validates that OCD is ever-present in my thinking.

I won't admit to how obsessively I was checking for content here, but I think that I can stick to checking the site just twice a day. Once a day was too little and so then I was just completely ignoring any restrictions as unreasonable. I intentionally put off replying for a day. That was difficult to do.

I nearly fell into the trap of replying to everyone who hasn't got a reply!!!

And if you don't respond......
