@alegrakastens: Compulsive checking is a common OCD mental compulsion that BACKFIRES 📣 Paying attention to a specific body part can bring on the very sensations you’re making sure you don’t experience (ex. gr0inaI response). Checking your feelings (like love for your partner) over and over again can dilute what you’re organically feeling and create a sense of numbness. Compulsions create confusion, not clarity! #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdhelp #ocdawareness
