@leokatieocdadhd: OCD can make uncertainty feel like a warning that demands immediate action. A thought, feeling or possibility may begin to seem meaningful simply because it creates anxiety. Compulsions can provide temporary relief, but they also teach the brain that the doubt needs to be solved. Recovery can involve noticing the discomfort without checking, confessing, overexplaining or trying to neutralize it. Feeling uncertain does not mean you need to find an answer. #ocd #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #mentalcompulsions #ocdrecovery
