Time Obsession

2 Replies

Since few years ago, I recently started to have this obsession of time.

I keep looking at the time very frequently throughout the day.

It does not matter if I am staying home, or if I have to go for a doctors appointment.

I am struggling with trying to resist looking at the time.

It is just so difficult for me.

Some days I feel that I could resist, other days, it gets out of control.

I try to look back in the past, when I never had this obsession of time before.

This is why OCD sucks !!!

It can randomly choose anything to latch upon, and the brain will get stuck on it.

I feel like I am trapped in the brain by this OCD monster.

Do you know why time is so obsessive to you? Are you afraid of missing out on something?

in reply toMoon_B

I really do not know why time became an obsession.

I am not afraid of missing out on anything.

It is an urge to look at time, for no reason.

The anxiety does not make any sense,

Not what you're looking for?
