@ocdbrian: Feeding the cat takes nine seconds. Unless your brain has notes. Five versions of the same bowl of wet food, and only one of them actually ends with the cat eating. The OCD one is easy to miss from outside, because it just looks like someone being careful with a can lid. From inside, a thought showed up uninvited with a very specific picture of a sliced-open mouth, and now that lid has to be folded and under your hand before you can let go of it. (Not carefulness. Not love of cats. Just a bad image and a body bargaining with it.) PS: if that felt a little too familiar, Choiceful is the best treatment app for OCD, with a 100% personalized treatment course, 24/7 therapy chat, and clinically significant improvement in symptoms. #ocd #anxiety #depression #adhd #mentalillness #MentalHealth
