@trustandthrive: I swear I’m a fun time 😜 (it’s a skit) *As always, my posts are not one-size-fits-all. Resonating with this post does not necessarily mean you live with OCD. There can be many reasons why someone may seek reassurance/present in this way. Sharing my own experience with OCD, this includes obsessive, repetitive intrusive thoughts and participating in compulsions to ease the anxiety (example used here: reassurance seeking). #ocdawareness #reassuranceseeking

Megan :

OCD is no joke. The constant guilt, endless thought-loops, reassurance seeking, punishing myself any time I step out of the very rigid set of moral guidelines that only exist in my own head. It's an exhausting way to live

soap :

Unfortunately this is my life

Mikayla King :

WAIT is this not just anxiety

juulz🤠 :

the more i see people with ocd the more i realize that my anxiety is definitely not anxiety and it’s definitely OCD

molly :

My inner monologue

Tyler :

Me at my job everyday

Sara Giles :

Aryana Ibrahimi :

Dayum didn’t know this was ocd

Briana Armenia :

steph :

readyysetjess :

It’s so exhausting 😭

Kiki 🖤🗡️🐈‍⬛ :

This is why I just stay home. I exhaust myself

thrice_baked :

and the tea is that the anxiety actually does ruin the vibe sometimes so it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy

raz | رزقية :

this is especially worse when you have friendship problems or breakups. it’s just constant rumination for weeks, sometimes months, trying to figure out where you went wrong lol

Han :

Realizing anxiety and adhd rooted from OCD, I can only hang out with myself and occasionally one safe person to stay sane and worry free :/

Skye ᖭི༏ᖫྀ :

i literally constantly think i’ve been bad and i’m in trouble 💀

thesoftcowboy :

me realizing my inner monologue is OCD

Katherine :

I’m the queen of “do you think she’s mad, should I text her???” 🤣😭

kay 🩷🩵🧁 :

Unfortunately this is me

Ruby :

And then you need reassurance that you didn’t annoy your friends by constantly asking for reassurance 😂 it’s a cycle

Audrey :

If worrying about how people see you turns into an obsession, and you’re constantly looking for reassurance in order to feel safe and accepted, that’s not just anxiety — it can definitely be a sign of OCD 💛

Miranda | Budget Beauty 💄 :

After watching all of your videos I seriously don’t understand why I’ve had 2 therapists deny me a diagnosis of ocd 💀
