@therapywithsandi: OCD isn’t a personality quirk, a love for cleaning, or just needing your desk organized. Real OCD is getting trapped in a relentless loop of terrifying, unwanted intrusive thoughts and mental rituals. One of the most common, exhausting subtypes that people rarely talk about is health anxiety (or Health OCD). It isn't just "being a hypochondriac"—it's a brutal cycle of genuinely believing you have a terminal illness, constantly checking your body for symptoms, and spiraling into hours of reassurance-seeking or googling. #therapywithsandi #healthocd #healthanxiety #ocdawareness
