OCD: General Discussion Thread

Arthur Newman22 said:Hey, honestly, I’m glad there are people out here I can actually talk to, even if it sucks that anyone has to deal with this kind of mindless bullshit in the first place. For me, these thoughts have been sticking around for about six months now, and I just don't have the damn energy left to kick them to the curb—they've basically rewired my entire personality at this point. I'm constantly haunted by this loop of "did I offend someone?" or feeling like everything I do is some huge sin, or that I'm obligated to suffer, or that I have to be absolutely perfect and carry everyone else on my back... it just keeps piling up the longer I go, and man, I don't know how you're handling it, but this stuff is absolutely killing me. Anyway, I'm 23 and living in the States, so I totally feel you.🙄
So, how did these thoughts even start for you?
Did it just hit you out of nowhere, or was there some kind of trigger?
