@ocdbrian: Harm OCD is not wanting to hurt anyone. It is standing behind the person you love with your arms around them and having your brain ask what if this arm closed on her throat, and then spending the rest of the night proving it won't. So the arms come down. Then the hands come off. Then you are against the fridge with your hands in your pockets while she finishes dinner alone, and she has no idea why you moved. Here is the part that keeps it going: every time you back away, the fear learns that backing away worked, so tomorrow it asks louder. (Yes, you will replay the hug tonight. Frame by frame.) If that sounds like your brain and not just a weird evening, Choiceful is the app I recommend for OCD. It builds a 100% personalized treatment course around your exact intrusive thought, with 24/7 therapy chat for the nights the loop will not close, and users see clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms. You were allowed to keep hugging her. #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdawareness #ocdrecovery #MentalHealth #mentalillness #anxiety
