This is actually oddly validating to hear, I thought I was just overreacting or something 😭but thank u so much, I really need to make an appointment somewhere bc it’s actually starting to ruin my life. Also, I’m glad to hear you’ve started meds for it! Hoping it brings you some relief!!
I get it, I just got clocked by a doctor a few months ago and it’s really comforting to have an actual name to blame the thoughts on. The meds definitely helped. I’ve had friends that went through therapy for OCD, I just never connected the dots between their experiences and my own because of how differently it manifested, but the coping mechanisms work just the same. I wish you luck with your treatment journey!
