Mine’s more like “I can’t get within 20 feet of a balcony or other ledge because what if I lean over the edge too far and fall off” …learned this the hard way after my week long hotel room on the 12th floor had a balcony…the intrusive thoughts kept me up all night for the entire goddamn trip

Mine is the I accidentally starve myself kind because what if my food actually is sentient being and my french fries are dying in pain because I’m feeling snackish. The logical part of my brain knows that this isn’t true but what if it is?

OCD is so bad. I started starving myself because if I didn’t counted to 30 seconds before every bite I thought something bad was going to happen or I might die
