@leokatiecbt: Optimization OCD can make even ordinary choices feel like they need to be the "best" possible use of your time. You may constantly question whether you're doing the right thing, choosing the right activity, or wasting time that could be used for something more productive. Because the future is uncertain, your brain keeps searching for the most optimal decision - even when there is no way to know for sure. Over time, this can make relaxing, spending time with people you love, or simply doing something enjoyable feel uncomfortable. The problem is not wanting to use your time well. It is feeling like every moment has to be optimized perfectly. #ocd #optimizationocd #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #MentalHealth
