OCD: General Discussion Thread
in Psychology & Therapy ·
I suspect I’m dealing with the same issue. While I can manage it for now, I worry that as the years go by, things might start to spiral out of control.
For instance, I have these rather silly little rituals where I insist on doing everything in a specific sequence. In the morning, it’s always bathroom first, then brushing my teeth, then washing my face, and so on. If I deviate from that order even slightly, I get this nagging feeling that something terrible is going to happen that day. It feels somewhat like a superstition, I suppose.
