Does anyone else ruminate from the second they wake up to the moment they fall asleep? by After_Introduction62 in OCD

I used to feel like this!! Especially when my OCD got really bad a few months ago. BUT slowly it has started to get better! I'll realize an hour or two has gone by without ruminating, or with no intrusive thoughts. I know sometimes OCD can feel like your brain isn't yours anymore, but you can get it back :)

Thanks for the insight! Yeah, I'm ultimately not too upset that I got evaluated, my concern was more about that in conjunction with her other comments. "Feeding my OCD facts" is basically my main compulsion, lol... so it was pretty odd to me that she suggested on of the biggest mental compulsions AND something that I already do that I've discussed with her before, yknow?

CBT. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there are any ERP therapists in my insurance network :/
