@leokatieocdadhd: OCD can make overthinking feel productive. It can sound responsible to keep trying to solve the thought, understand what it means, or finally get to the bottom of it. But when the goal is certainty, the "figuring it out" can become part of the cycle. That is why some of OCD's biggest lies do not sound ridiculous at first. They sound convincing, urgent, and even logical. The problem is not just the thought itself. It is the pull to respond to it over and over again. #ocd #ocdawareness #rumination #intrusivethoughts #compulsions
