@leokatiecbt: OCD rarely looks like the stereotypes you see on television. Sometimes it looks like constantly apologizing for things that are not your fault, simply because you fear you accidentally did something wrong. It can easily trap you in a reassurance loop, where you constantly ask if everything is okay but never actually feel convinced by the answer. OCD can also trigger an intense moral spiral, making you panic over a single random thought and wonder if you are secretly a bad person. This often leads to the silent spiral, where you are smiling on the outside but completely panicking on the inside. Finally, there is the mental review: replaying a conversation over and over in your head to find the exact second you "messed everything up". #ocd #ocdsymptoms #intrusivethoughts #mentalcompulsions #ocdawareness
