@leokatiecbt: OCD isn't just about the thoughts themselves. It's also about what happens after they show up. The doubt, the anxiety, the urge to make sure everything is okay, and the mental or physical rituals you might use to feel better can become exhausting. And because so much of this happens internally, other people may not realize how much you're dealing with. Understanding the cycle is an important step toward recognizing what OCD really looks like. #ocd #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #compulsions #MentalHealth
