@katherinekeenvelasquez: Your OCD and anxiety isn’t the result of a chemical imbalance. It’s how your brain adapted to deal with inputs from your childhood. If you want to know more, my new book A Mind Pretending to Be Me: How a F*cked-Up Mind Can Set You Free just released and is available at the link in the post. #fy #ocdrecovery #ocdrelief #intrusivethoughts #amindpretendingtobeme
I have autism and trauma and i feel like my obsession is reflecting and my compulsion is the thinking itself - like i cant move on from a situation until i feel like ive understood it completely.

OCD runs in my family, there is an element of trauma but there is also a genetic predisposition for anxiety.

Why do you use the word “mind” rather than “thoughts”? That feels important.
