@leokatiecbt: Some compulsions look so much like being kind to yourself that they're easy to miss. Reassuring yourself that nothing bad will happen, replacing a scary thought with a comforting one, or checking whether you really love someone can all feel like reasonable ways to calm down. The difference is usually in what they do over time. Each one brings a little relief, but the doubt tends to return asking for more, which can leave you needing to repeat it again and again to feel okay. If you recognize yourself here, it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It means your mind is trying very hard to feel safe. OCD is very treatable, and a therapist who understands it can help you learn to leave the doubt unanswered. #ocd #mentalcompulsions #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #ocdrecovery
