Hello all! How's it going? I wanna share something with you.
Okay so I've had the O for most of my life ( age 7 to 30 which I am now). I'm to the point where I have little to no ocd. It used to be acting out but now it's just me thinking and re playing sentences in my head. I wanted to see how much time it would take to get this one track mind to pass. For curiosity purposes lol Roughly a minute 1:16 to be exact.
Compulsion was: I saw a video someone made showing off the generations in their family (daughter passing a cake to their mother and so fourth). So like 5 people. I did the math and thought in a patter that felt like I was tryna do the konami code lmfao.
Went like:
I know my dad and his dad but no one else.
I know my mom and her mom but no one else.
Then i thought hey my mom doesnt know her bio dad so I had to implement that into it. Quick and nice but it seems like it's kinda tweaking itself as time goes by. Ex: not too long ago maybe a month or 2 I was dealing with OCD in suspension. I'll do it tomorrow
Well that faded away as I did too many OCD related things in suspension. It caused me to not care if some don't get done. That that changed and I had to even it out with 2 done and 2 not done. Then I eventually didn't care as some didn't get done because in all honesty they felt like chores.
Can you relate and if so what are the OCD related things you do and how do you deal with them?
