@leokatieocdadhd: For the longest time, I thought compulsions were obvious things like checking locks or washing your hands. I had no idea how many of mine were happening completely inside my head... especially in my relationship. It all felt like I was just trying to be responsible & figure things out. But here’s the catch: every time I did one of these things to get certainty, I taught my brain that the doubt actually needed an answer. And the relief never lasted. There was always another feeling to check or another question to solve. Learning that compulsions can be mental, subtle, & even disguised as “being honest” or “thinking things through” was a huge part of understanding my ROCD & finally learning how to respond differently. It took me way too long to realize this, so I hope this helps you see that you're not the problem, OCD is 🫶 #ocd #rocd #relationshipanxiety #rumination #intrusivethoughts
